I know that everyone here has D-jet but does anyone know of any L-jet gurus anywhere? My car has smelled like it runs rich since I got it. While doing some exhaust work this morning, it was confirmed by the black soot everywhere. I thought I read somewhere that these cars ran rich from the showroom floor. I have backed the idle adjust all the way out with no apparent change in the richness of the mixture. It did change the RPM to a point though. I read in one thread something about coming in from working on the car and smelling like I had been standing next to a diesel campfire. That's me!

well i know a fair amount about the ljet drove one daily for more than 18 months.
the screw for the mixture is on the air flow meter, you turn it out to lean it out. the idle screw is just that. do not i repeat DO NOT open the cover. i would bet someone richened it up due to a vac leak, i would turn the screw out 1/4 turn then take it for a sprited 15 min drive then check the plugs, dont use the exhaust soot to tell ya, either the plugs or a o2 sensor. you might even to be sure take it to a shop that has a o2 meter and set it. but if useing the plugs do not turn the screw more than a 1/4 at a time now i can still tell you what traces on the double relay do what, because that was my biggest headache |
