Looking for a picture or description how the thermostat is connected to the throttle body of a ljet motor (maybe the same a djet setup). What other components are involved in the warm-up circuit of a ljet motor?
Thanks...if you got a picture, all the better.

Dave & Randy,
Thank you for your comments and guidance. I am fairly familar with the function of many of the components mentioned above, but let me provide a bit more context for my question.

I have a 75 1.8 with an automatic which runs wonderfully and does seem to run through a warm-up cycle, but then again the weather is pretty warm now in CA. It seems it should have a faster idle than it does when the engine is "cold."

On the throttle body there is a lever on the top that is not connected to anything. The accelerator cable is connected and a "kickdown" for the automatic is also connected. It's been years since I've seen a stock 1.8 throttle body setup, so I'm trying to figure out if that top lever should be connected to the thrermostat coil, or what does it connect to.
