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.. |

Great! Thanks--got the CSV info (maybe it would work in January!)
The AAR thing makes sense. However, it seems like the idle screw doesn't do anything when I back it out. I thought I cleaned the plenum really well this summer... Yesterday it seemed to idle fine, but it was 15 degrees warmer outside. I adjusted the CO to 3%. I haven't been driving it at all and haven't had much time to work on it until this weekend... I've checked my hoses--all are new and seem hooked up correctly. I've sorted out the D-Jet recently and everything checked out. Looking for the next step... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
