Yep, including a new earth main between starter and chassis. Most likely I mixed up some wires somewhere. Has to wait until this afternoon, back to work it is... And I mean a paid day job...

Maybe some earth issue at the coil, previousoy, there was some weird transistor ignition, and I tried to reconnect everything the way it was ehen that was removed by my mechanic. But then even that was not original, and now the fuel pump is getting power as specced, maybr I forgot the earth from the coil.

If anyone could have a look to verify, the coil is connected from the negative to the distributor AND thr chassis? If so, that might be my problem.

Not mine but a beautiful 1990 300tdi in for a front wheel bearing. The wheel is literally ready to fall off
