This group has helped me in the past when the VW forum had let me down so i hope no one minds, i'm kinda' desperate.

My 95 cabrio developed some bad noises and I happened to have a 97 cabrio with a good engine so i paid a guy to do the swap.

He's a very good mechanic with experience in just about everything except European cars.

He swapped the intake and everything else that was unique to the 95. It's all back together and he can't get it to start.

We're not hearing the fuel pump come on.

As the car started an ran OK before we assume the problem is related to something during the engine swap.

Any suggestions?

Is there a simple way to jump the fuel pump and force it to run?


THanks

Dave
