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 |
