Question I have a fuel injected bug that stopped running it seemed to not be getting fuel, but I checked the fuel pump and it is good. The bug will start up but dies right away. I checked the wires to the pump and it is not getting any juice so I am thinking that brain box is not working properly. Is there any sensor that would cause this, I ran a hot wire to the pump but it still just starts up and dies.
Answer Hi Don,
Sorry for the delay getting back to you.
This sounds like the no. 3 temp sensor. It is located in the back of the engine on the number 3 cylinder.
You can purchase a new one for about 20.00 at
