Working on a 1974 2.0 d-jet
-symptom 1- when i start it... idle is very low no where near the 1600 rpm as Brad mentions -symptom 2- low idle...like 550 rpm -symptom 3- when coming to a stop it almost dies -symptom 4- stomp on gas when sitting and driving it goes blah... then takes off. -symptom 5- as it warms up loses a little power things to note: -there are 20 clicks when pushing down accelerator so tps is correct -timing and dwell were checked today and they were within spec. -lifters just adjusted |

Were the timing and dwell within spec? If so then I would check the following: - What is the fuel pressure and do all the FI parts besides the throttle switch work as per Brad's article? - How are the valve clearances, since the engine gets worse as it gets hotter the valve adjustment could be off? - How are the injector seals, do they leak as they can let in a bit of air that is not seen by the FI system and can get worse as the engine gets hotter. - How old are the trigger points, do they fire equally for both sets? -timing and dwell within spec -can i get a link to brads article? -valves just adjusted last week -I do not THINK the injector seals are leaking -trigger points new |
