Gang, I need your help. I started out just running rich. So I made a very small adjustment to the AFM to lean it out. I also did a tune-up (cap, rotor, plugs and wires) No points (Compufire). I also replaced my ol faithful Bosch Blue Coil (12 years old) with the best I could find in a day (Standard Brand). Now I am running rich and with a nice case of hesitation and blubbering. Idle is good, but the minute I pull on the throttle a slight decrease on the RPM for a second then it picks up and blubbers at what ever point I pull the throttle up to. It does it at all RPM's. I haven't got on any stretch of road long enough to see if I can feel any hunting or jerking...I am almost certain that it would. I have tried to find posts on the site and I can't find any with my symptoms.
I checked all the vacuum lines for leaks.(cut old ends off and reattached) Checked the Pressure Regulator, vacuum side for leaks. Cleaned the throttle body (also made a rubber gasket for it) Cleaned the throttle switch (removed all the carbon deposits on the points.) Checked the AFM Flap for any damage (have you checked the price on these babies? Ouch!) I am at a loss...any advice you might have would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Ok...well I can tell you that after removing all the relays while the car was running it started running really rough. I then started putting them back-in careful not to put them in the same way. I was just going over everything that was done prior to the blubbering problem... after doing that the roughness is gone. There was a relay where the fuel pump goes...maybe it was shorting the system if it was bad? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) That is weird, unless you managed to jiggle something else when you were removing the relays. The fuel pump relay wouldn't do a thing because it has nothing to energize it. Maybe you bumped the voltage regulator? Low voltage will affect the l-jet system in weird ways. |
