Well, after doing every test in the manual and passing all but one.
no Ma from the pcu I replaced the ECU and the mixture is now 12.5 @6000rpm
I have not driven the car yet.( I really don't want to blast down my street!)

Question: The ECU I got has a red label and a different PN# then the one that was in the car.
Removed from a 88 cis-e Jettta.
my old ECU was green label 87 GTI

thanks for your help
