As getting ready for the 2022 Northeast Gathering, I'm encountering a semi-recurring idle issue on my 1974 1.8L LJet FI. When outside air is cool and dry, idles just fine at 950-1000 rpm. When outside air is warm and humid, after warmup the idle falls off to barely running. I've just been adjusting the air flow screw (maybe 1.5-2 full turns) to open it. Of course, the reverse happens - if I preadjust the screw it idles near 1800 then settles down to 1100 after the engine gets totally warm (15 mins or so).
I presume (?) there SHOULD be some regulation, perhaps with the ECU or AFM, to monitor air temp and humidity and make adjustments automatically? I didn't have to manually do this adjustment in the past. The AAR works and tests out fine. Just annoying to have to pull over after running a while and adjust the screw. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Your thoughts @Van @Van_B and @Wonkipop ? |

Solved, I think/hope.
Did the TB test suggested by Van. No stalling or change. Van, maybe we can chat during the upcoming Gathering to make sure I did it correctly. The hose going into the back of the TB is nice and snug. Drove for 20 minutes and the idle didn’t fall off from the preset slightly higher idle the entire time. So , have backed off the higher idle a bit and will retest tomorrow morning. Still begs the answer to all our questions about if/where our 1.8s have a Temp Sensor I. Onward! |
