Anyone have a work around for a AAR? Mine is sitting upside down in penetrating oil as I hope and pray that the cylinder becomes unstuck. In the meantime, has anyone successfully grafted another AAR device? My 1973 1.7L needs a little help when she's cold.
As I research the subject I see where Bosch made a bunch of FI systems for various auto manufacturers around the world, and I cannot help but think one of those bits would do the job my 0280-014-007 does when healthy? |

Post a WTB in the classifieds. They can't be that expensive.
As for other AARs, don't they all work the same? They get 12v and after a minute or two, they close, right? My D-Jet AAR was stuck. I eventually freed it up but if it didn't work, I was going to use an L-Jet AAR. |

My heating coil and lead wire are fine, and work, but the cylinder is frozen open from rust and gunk. I would bet a meal at a drive-up window that just about any Bosch AAR would work if the plumbing was correct. I am not squeamish about experimentation, but prefer to stay off the bleeding edge when I can learn from someone else's experience. |
