I was wondering if their is anyway to manualy adjust the air/fuel mixture on a 2L with stock d-jet fuel injection. I really feel like my car is running rich and I hear a good sized sucking nose coming from my throtle plate.
It sounds and feels like my car can't breath. Thanks |

QUOTE(newto914s @ Sep 22 2004, 09:18 AM) Is it possible to confuse the idle mixture knob with the idle adjustment knob(i.e. raise the idle, or appear to do so)? The idle adjustment screw is on the throttle body. Cranking it out will raise the idle, cranking it in will lower the idle. The idle mixture adjustement is on top of the ECU, which is located on the firewall, under the battery. It should be pretty tough to get these two confused. Adjusting the idle mixture will definitely change the RPMs at idle though. The only way to properly set it is to use an O2 sensor, or some other type of exhaust gas analyzer. Check all FI components and make sure there are no vaccuum leaks. Then set the idle mixture, and then you should be able to adjust the idle speed properly. Good luck, |
