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!

It's like an appendix. You could just remove it and not care.

It's like an appendix. You could just remove it and not care. Bad move. The decel valve opens when you close the throttle at high RPMs. It leans the mixture, and also it acts as a dashpot, keeping the RPMs up so the engine doesnt die under decel. And all of the 1.8L engines had them. Brad is an expert on the D-Jet system, and I will always defer to him on it. He has studied it extensively. I don't believe he has studied the L-Jet system as extensively. I have worked on them for 34 years, and every one I have worked on, as well as the PET parts manual, lists a decel valve for both years of the L-Jet system. And the only difference between the ones for D-Jet and L-Jet is the adjustment setting. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) good description,my understanding is the L-jet TB's that have only one vacuum port (retard) so that valve would be essential to stop stalling when the throttle is fully closed after acceleration ,right ? So it serves the above function and also helps to reduce emissions when the throttle is closed @ the same time ?. Cheers. |
