Control Pressure Regulator Questions.

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

Ok, recently I've been having some problems with my Control Pressure 
Regulator. Inside, two wires were burnt. The wire that connects 
between the plug and the arm heater, and the wire that connects 
between the arm heater and the thermostat. Replacement of this wire 
shouldn't be a problem. I have some high temp wire (200°C), but I'm 
unsure about something. Inside, the wire connections appear to be 
either spotwelded, or crimped into place. It looks as though on the 
wire that burnt, there was some solder used. My question here is what 
kind is it? What ever it is, it appears to be VERY resistant to heat. 
My soldering iron will meld 60/40 rosin core solder like hot butter. 
But the stuff that's inside, it can't even dent.

The second problem that I've been having is poor accelleration on my 
car. When you hit the gas pedeal, the engine doesn't accellerate 
right away. The rev of the engine changes tone, and the car begins to 
lag. A second or two later, the car will get a sudden burst of power. 
It's good enough that it can push you back into the seat a bit. Note 
the engine changes tone, and revs up slowly, and then fast. The revs 
will increase w/speed, so I know this isn't a slipping clutch. When I 
took the CPR off tonight, I noticed something very odd. If I apply a 
vaccum to the side which pushes the arm up (raise fuel pressure), the 
pressure will hold. But if I apply a vaccum to the opposite side 
which lowers the arm (lowers fuel pressure), it seems to be leaking. 
This appears to be a failure in my fuel enrichment circuit. When I 
fully disassembled the unit, I found that the lower gasket was only 
half-attached.

So, my question is this. Is there a service kit that I can pick up 
from my local BOSCH parts/service center? If I could pick up a new 
gasket & wiring, that would be great. If nothing else, just the 
gasket. That way I could seal the lowest chambers for the enrichment 
vaccum. I have enough room to solder everything, but I just don't 
know which type of solder to use. What can I buy that could withstand 
the temperatures of the engine, and where could I pick some up at. I 
really need to get this fixed ASAP. Since unplugging the electrical 
connection on the CPR, my fuel efficency has dropped 40+ miles to the 
tank! I used to fill up @ 190-200 miles. My car now has 153 on this 
tank, and the fuel light is on!
