it has to be, thats what i said quite a ways up the post... they just dont die and not make any noise. unless theres no fuel. and that can either be because its out of diesel (witch its not) or the stop solinoid either doesnt work or has no power to it.

it was the #15 fuse (engin electronics). i replaced it and she ran like a champ again. how ever itdid blow again. why does the fuse keep blowing? :x

it KEEPS blowing? sounds like a short or some serious resistance somewhere. put a 5 amp bigger fuse in and see if it does the same thing. if it does, start tracing wires and find the problem

Short in the Wire going to the cut off solenoid?

would there be a way to run an omm meter through the system? i dont know how this might help

I don't know what all that fuse protects. In the short term, I would run a wire from the battery to a switch in the dash (fuse it close to the battery) and then to the fuel shutoff solenoid. This will allow you to drive the car without it dying on you. Then take as much of the factory wiring to the solenoid out of the equation (disconnect as close to the fuse box as possible), it will allow you to see if that wire was blowing the fuse or if it's something else.

i dont know either. as far as i know the car doesnt really have a "computer" in it. but it does cut out the glow plugs :?

MK3's with the AAZ engine have an "Engine Management Module"... looks like a huge relay in the upper left hand corner of the fuse block... I vaguely remember that it may have a "136" stenciled on it.

It runs the glow plug relay (#110), the fast idle for cold temperatures and air-conditioning, the EGR and turbo cutouts, etc etc etc, as equipped by the particular configuration of the day. ;-)
