After the megasquirt install, and my success with it, I decided i didn't need to keep all the Djet stuff. Now, I wish I would have kept the decel valve and here is why.

I thought, well the megasquirt has a decel cut function built in, that will help lean out the mixture on decel, and thats what this valve did anyway. Wrong. The decel valve I have since discovered makes shifting easier. Why you ask? Cause it allows air in once the throttle plate closes. This allows the engine to return to idle in a much slower fashion, thus not making the syncros in the tranny to work so hard. I figured this out cause my tranny will speed shift fine, but if I take my time, which I normally do, its much harder to get in gear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

So does this mean you want one?

If you are having problems shifting, I don't think it is a result of a missing deaccel valve.

When i had the 1.7L, one of the first this to go was the decel valve. I really like the much better throttle response without the valve.

Without it, you can actually use the motor to slow the car down ...

PS: Never noticed any difference in shifting quality.
