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???

Forgive the following didactic but I want to comment on something I personally understand.

I'm sorry that Jake Raby is fed up, but I sympathize. Sole proprietors of any business have it rough. I know.

Retail sales adds a quantum of additional stress and heartache to that equation. Aside from the considerable pressure that corporate on-line marketers add to this mix, it already was difficult. No matter how professional and quality oriented, retailers are in the line of fire from both suppliers and customers.

The stress of retail is systemic and I have a feeling Jake's decisions regarding whether or not to sell parts are not based on a single incident, nor would I hold anyone but him responsible for that decision. Given the environment, it's understandable, albeit unfortunate if he decides to give up that part of his "line."

Very few people have a natural affinity to the work of selling to the public; however, it is critical to our well being that they continue. That's why I try to treat individuals who are in the business of selling things important to me with as much sensitivity as I can muster.
