Cooler weather in Upper Michigan... Yesterday when it was warm, my '73 1.7 D-Jet seemed to idle well. Today, a bit cooler out. The car starts up and idles for 3 minutes or so (when cold) and then dies. I can start it up and if I keep the idle up I can keep it running, otherwise it will die. I'm assuming the CSV quits at a certain point and It's still not getting enough gas to keep running? I thought it might have something to do with the cold weather? Anyone else familiar with this? I will check the d-jet site (pbanders?) site now.. |

just a train of thought to go off with. it dies after 3 min./warmup (maybe that is when your aar valve closes and stop letting in that extra air)) then you throttle it and it will keep running (when your throttle opens your letting in air). I would start with adjusting the idle screw but not until it is warmed up after the AAR valve closes. The CSV does not even get the go ahead fire from the sensor unitl depending on your exact sensor but they are all within the range of freezeing (farehenhite) give or take 5-10 celcius. So basically unless you have ice on the ground your CSV is should not be working.. (but I expect you do get your share of ICE in Michigan)
