real Rich....bad mps.
1.7 or 2.0
trigger points causing extra injector pulses?
b
1974 1.8L
1.8L
hmm...
anti-vac leak....
hmm.....
for it to be that messed up...
mine did the same thing, only mine ran real lean.
anywho, is the AFM stuck?
b
to much tech talk... a page i can look at in haynes?
Could be the timing is very far off; could be the plug wires are not on the right distributor cap terminals. Could be other stuff, too.

Have you guys heard anything like this though... this is my daily sound for the past 4 months... but with running and running bad.. but then i got it fixed last friday and then my points broke...
okay...if you go out to your car
look for the airbox (big black thing on left side {driver side})
then you'll see some silver metal thing attached to it. that be your AFM.
remove the intake boot (rubber) with a screwdriver on that hose clamp and stick your finger inside of that large diameter circular hole. you'll feel a flap, go ahead....push it. that flap meaures the amount of air coming through it, so the FI system can match it with a specified amount of fuel. If it sticks ANYWHERE in its travel, you need to do some work....
if you want i can pm you my number.....
b
again the car is nicely parked 20 miles away from here.. couldnt make it home, what is on the audio file is the sound i got.
but you are right, that flap was stuck last time, we freed it up by bending it and now its ok..
that WAS the problem, but how can it be the same symptoms when its not that...
because you drive and it gets stuck again....
bending it wont solve the problem....
you will need a rebuilt AFM....
and thats cheap i guess
Well, it seamed to work, casue the flap was just scratching the wall of it..

Christopher,
I have a box of L-Jet parts in my garage. PM/email me and we can work out a handoff spot if you want some spares. AFM included.
he has L-Jet....
the AFM is bad.

It's timing. Excessive dwell or too retarded. BTDT, just recently fixed it. And it took a "new" used dizzy to do it. The irginal kept eating points rubbing blocks.

my dizzy? b |
If the car backfired, it probably warped the flap on the AFM.
Only permanent solution is a replacement AFM.
BTDT.
Got it running thanks to you guys! Went up now with a flash light and some tools.. I moved the flap inside the dist. closer to the tall piece. (sorry for my terminalogy) now it runs good almost great, it still have backfires when i let go of the throttle, and a rather rough idle around 7-900 jumping up and down..
change out the FI?
