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???

I am not over reacting.. I am stating facts so someone else might learn a lesson.
When the unknowing read "Raby 9550" and "failure" that's all the read and they don't realize what happened. The lifter crown requires precision measurement.

I fight people half assing and rushing projects all the time and no one listens.. Now if he loses a cam or lifter after it goes back together he has been warned. You call it over reacting, I call it what's required.

Wow, I must have missed something because the first time I ever read that this had any relation to a Raby 9550 was when Jake posted it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Although I think Joe should have been a little tactful rather than posting

"What the hell was aluminum pushrods doing in his engine"

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Joe, Should definitely know better.

Especially if it was a different builder using Jake's products so I think Jake is justified in his post but maybe not so much in removing a product line from the masses.

I'm sure its not going to hurt your bottom line Jake but it would be un-politic to do so because of something mistakenly stated on this board when it can always be retracted or edited out of the thread. Now that you have published your own remarks it will remain here on the board until the thread expires or is removed and further highlighting what you may consider negative publicity for your product line. I personally would have had a similar reaction but I tend to write my reply then after reading I realize, WOW, I just swatted that fly with a sledge hammer damaging everything under the fly as well. I then count to ten and review what I am really upset at.

Some of us are very much idiots but idiots who have no intention of seeking to damage your reputation or your name.

Joe should remove this thread or request it to be removed and starting a new one if he so wishes without statements made to the quality of a product line from a manufacture that was not responsible for his mechanical troubles.
