Well, I finally got my 83 GTI up and running (it needed a new hall sender). But it seems that the numerous backfires have taken their toll. I actually noticed this new problem just after one of the last backfires so I'm pretty certain it was the cause. The car now makes a pretty loud clanging noise roughly once per revolution (guessing). At first I thought it might be a hole in the exhaust pipes or something, but that's not the case. The car also has much less power. What should I look for here? Thanks and happy 4th!!!! Fred
