This is a very difficult to get item to get! Many have said soaking the existing one in kerosene for a few days will do the trick, have not done that yet as I am still trying to track down a new one. Wondering what the success rate has been with soaking it in kerosene, also wondering would WD 40 do the same thing. Would hate to ruin the one I have, which is original to the car!

If the car is backfiring it’s not the decel valve’s fault. Your mixture is too rich, too lean, or you’ve got a leak in your exhaust system.
Lots of people ditch the decel valve. But people with way more knowledge than I have stated that doing so may result in putting more stress on the MPS, which is an expensive part to replace. There are rebuild kits for the MPS, but either replacing or repairing will require an AFR meter and specific tools to correctly calibrate it for your engine. |
