I had this problem with my Zex dry kit. I've also heard (through my Uncle) that a number of VW owners are experiencing the same problem!

I never resolved my problem (sold the dry kit and got a wet kit), so I don't know of the solution. My guess is to check the wiring (especially) to the TPS sensor. I mention this because if the management unit looses the TPS signal, it will default to set-up mode (which requires you to reset the management unit).

Good luck!

if you disconnect your battery, that is the way you program your box using a code with your ignition and gas peddle..

it's normal

After programing, it should click once everytime you press the gas petal.


I've not experienced what you describe.
