I am converting back to D-Jet and my car will start but dies right after. It will not rev up applying throttle. I have a 1975 914 2.0. It was running great with Weber 40s prior.
The D-Jet system is from a 1974 2.0. All the parts came in visibly good condition. TPS calibrates good, AAV tested good, Thermo sensor good, air intake temp sensor good, and a new cylinder head temp sensor. The only test that I think is failing is the vacuum test on the MPS. It leaks. Video of testing the MPS.. The MPS has also been rebuilt at some point. The original part # has been removed. There's a good chance it is not calibrated for my car. I have all new vacuum hose and fuel pressure is between 28 and 30. I don't have any tools to calibrate the MPS. Should I try turning the inner screw on the MPS to see if it helps? Or should I send it to someone to have it rebuild again and recalibrated? If the later do you have any recommendations on who to send it to? |

That throttle shaft leak will add some rpms, is your vacuum retard port plugged? I see the hose running off somewhere. If your distributor is set for retard and you have it disconnected, that might be what you need to bring the idle down. I have found the retard does not work on my 123dizzy but it is not the Bluetooth version. I think you would be best served by just plugging that port at the throttle body and not using retard at all. At worst your dizzy is set for advance and it is getting the advance signal when the throttle is closed and no other time.
1150 is very close. Yes the hole is supposed to be there. Also, try plugging the hole inside the throttle body with your finger. Sometimes that idle screw does not seal perfectly. And by hole I mean the one in the casting not the butterfly. |
