Car is a 74 djet. When I first start it cold it idles steady at around 1200rpm. After a minute or two it starts to jump back and forth from around 500rpm to 1200rpm or so. Any suggestions on what to look for? CHT? AAR?

Any suggestions on what to look for? CHT? AAR? i would check the AAR and its adjacent hoses, if its a cht issue it may really be an ecu issue and or as well.. the wierdness of it and that it happens in only 1 or 2 minutes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) usually ARR leak makes high idle, PVC valve issue?? sounds like it is going lean on the mixturte after 2 minutes ect.. below is copied from the ecu doc. link: http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/idle.htm My idle is rough and surges when it's warming up Lean idle mixture during warm-up. According Brad Mayeur, a 914 expert, who worked on these cars in the '70's at a Porsche dealership, poor running during warm-up due to lean mixture was a common problem on the 2.0L engines, not as common on the 1.7L's. The factory "fix" for this problem was to install a spacer between the CHT and the head. The spacer delayed the CHT's response to the changes in head temp, causing the ECU to deliver a richer mixture. I had this problem, and first made my own spacer, then got a very nice replica spacer from Brad, which totally fixed my warm-up issues. Locate Brad using Google if you're interested in getting a spacer. |
