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 |

Do all of your injection parts match?
Are your vacuum hoses routed properly? Have you verified your distributor advance/retard mechanisms are working properly? Is it hunting at idle? When you say you have a low idle, is this with the adjustment screw opened up all the way? If the idle screw is not having any effect I am going to guess it is something related to your distributor, check your timing at full advance and at idle and verify that your hoses are hooked up properly and the advance/retard mechanisms are working as they should. Also be sure you have the right distributor. I cant seem to find that link right now but from what i remember the 1.7 dizzys had more mechanical advance. Using one on a 2L set properly at full advance would result in overly retarded timing at idle. |
