D-Jet WAAAAY To Rich, or JOES 2012 HERSHEY EMERGENCY THREAD Options

[jsayre914]

My 2056 w/ D-jet has almost 200 miles on it, i have been tweaking little things here and there. Today I was trying to adjust the TPS. I turned the ignition on and slowly opened the throtle till i heard 20 clicks and then i tightened it down. Got on the freeway and seemed to run a bit better (less bucking) but then i drive 30 min and starts jerking like crazy

I am loosing at least 1 cylinder under steady cruise and pick it back up on accleration. I get to the end of the freeway and i cant even idle, feels like running on 3 but still has full power. I also hear a knocking sound.

shut it down. put the tps back where it was, pulled the plugs. BLACKer than black. Wipe them off and start it back up. Engine is idling rough and i smell gasoline strong from the exhaust.

I pulled the wire off the head temp sensor and grounded the lead to the negative side of the battery, and I think it helped. I also adjusted the idle screw and the knob on the ecu till it seemed like it smelled less like gasoline.

Here I am, firing on all 3 with full power, engine pulls strong but a lot of misfiring due to rich fuel i believe


what the hell is going on here???

For those of you that are following my emergency thread(s) I will give you the update. Drove to Hershey 30-40 min pushing it a bit, low engine temps and no lugging. I get to the hotel and the car is loud as a #$%er. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Running and idling low but not so bad. We drive 5 min to the show and I put the car up and let it cool off. Start adjusting the valves. I had them set at .008 & .006 and I had the loudest clackety engine in Hershey. I adjusted the valves to .006 all the way around because of members reccomendations. When I got to intake on #3...

It was soo loose I fit my pinky finger between the swivel foot and the rocker. I am talking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) is going on here. That was the sound we were all hearing! I adjusted the screw about 8 full turns, almost all the way in, and I got it back to .006. Finished up the last cylinder and fired it up. It was sooooo much smoother and no more noise.



I got the car Home with no problems at all, car still pulls, and needs a lot of tuning but, the question now is:

What the #$% happend to intake #3 ?????
