My 1974 2.0 D-jet is running very strong, but there were two lingering issues with the FI that I wanted to address over the winter:
1. A severe idle "hunt." The engine would rush up to about 1200 RPM, then nearly stall...repeat cycle. 2. Every once in a while the car would buck, most notably at highway speeds...it wasn't bad, just annoying. Last week I installed a new circuit board in the TPS purchased from Dave Sprinkle a few years back. It was calibrated according to the Pelican tech article using an ohmmeter. I took a 210 mile road trip over the weekend to test things out. The car now idles perfectly through the entire warm-up sequence. Thanks Dave! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) The problem is that I still have the same bucking issue. All my research points to the TPS. Any suggestions on what to check next? |
