Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

OK, the history....replaced AOS, difficulty is NOT overstated, but removed old, placed new, reconnected all other hoses and electrical.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

anyway, all is good now, and no more smoke with the new AOS.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK, the history....replaced AOS, difficulty is NOT overstated, but removed old, placed new, reconnected all other hoses and electrical. THERE WE NO OTHER PARTS REMOVED OR REPLACED, except oil filler tube. In process of replacing new oil filler tube, dropped fixing bolt into block. Dropped pan, found bolt, cleaned surfaces, applied new �gasket in� material, new oil, new filter. Finished AOS project: alternator put back in, timing belt, air box, etc. The PROBLEM: turned on-car fires up but stops within 1-2 sec. I hear the fuel pump energize. No warning lights, full tank of gas. WTF am I missing here? As I said, NO other parts replaced.

POST 2Original post

Not sure if this will be helpful, but I had a similar problem with a VW Jetta. Turned out to be a bad fuel pump relay. Did you work on anything in that area?

POST 3Original post

Go over all of the intake and vacuum hoses/connectors again. You might have something mid-aligned or not seated properly.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I went back and retraced my work. turns out that the front plenum on the left side was NOT connected to air intake manifold, therefore big vac leak. once correctly connected, started up and ran perfectly. I thought that as I backed “outwards” from the AOS, I was properly fitting and tightening everything, but sometimes the wife would come in the garage, or a neighbor, or some distraction (squirrel!!!) and I must have missed it. anyway, all is good now, and no more smoke with the new AOS. Thanks for your input.
