Greetings from Munich gentlemen!
As seen in the title, my car (1973 1.7 converted to 2 liter, D-Jettronic F.I.) idles at 1000 after starting and letting it sit. When I take it out in the road it quickly changes to 1400. It still idles at 1400 when stopped after the car is warm. 1) I think my AAR (auxiliary air regulator) valve isn't working at all. Disconnecting the vacuum hose, the idle shot up to about 3000 and covering it with my finger 100% it went back down to where it was before I had detached it from the AAR. So the AAR should have been OPEN as the car wasn't warm yet, but it seems to be closed 100%. Strangely, the idle only goes up after the car is out on the road / is warm...but not even yet near normal operating temperature. I'm thinking the AFR is leaning out under load and after the car is fully warmed up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I currently don't have AFR or CO values. I will have the CO measured cold and after warming up in a few days. Here's another issue and question fer y'all. While looking into the bay yesterday I noticed a substantial leak at one of the fuel injectors. I didn't mess with it much (checking the seating of the seal) but after I drove the car and it was warm, I looked again and it had stopped leaking. I thought it could have something to do with temp and fuel pressure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Starting up the car cold this morning however, I checked again, and there was still no leak. Does anyone have any idea what could cause an apparently intermittent leak like this? Perhaps just fudging with it gently got a seal to sit better, but I'm skeptical about that. Thanks for your feedback!

Update!
I got the AAR to work by letting it soak in WD40 for a day. Searching for a vacuum leak by spraying brake cleaner all over the place in the engine compartment, practically, the idle would drop from 1400 to under 1000 when I sprayed the "tip" of the fuel regulator, where there is an 11mm screw, which I couldn't easily get to turn in either direction (at all). I was curious, but pursued that attempt no further. Does this tell us anything? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Also, my fuel leak at the O ring of the injector is intermittent. Sometimes when I start the car up its leaking quite badly and more often than not, it's not leaking at all. Any ideas on why this could be the case? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks guys! Really appreciate your help a LOT! All the best from sunny Munich, Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) |
