[T2] signs of life in Baltimore

[Robert Mann]

	I've not followed this epic closely, but at this stage 
something rather subtle is likely to be the solution.
	Please forgive me, namesake, if I now proceed to tell what 
you already know full well.  I just want to make sure you're aware 
that 'Got spark' can be deceptive.  The cyl compression of your rogue 
motor is high (for a VW), which increases the chances that a spark 
that shows reliably out in the air will not work well enough when it 
has to.  Remember those garage spark plug cleaners AND testers, with 
a thick window (?mica) allowing you to see the spark as you pump up 
the pressure?  Only if the spark was loud, blue at 1 atm will it keep 
working fine at 10 atm.  A spark which is merely orange and 
near-inaudible out in the air can turn out inadequate in working 
conditions!
	If feeble spark is the fault, a good coil should fix it.

Good luck
