Ok...the skinny. Still have the 1.7 d-jet and today had my first mysterious problem.
Driving and cruising at about 3400 RPM's and it cuts out briefly a couple of times so I kick back on the gas and hit the exit. Got off the freeway and the idle would cruise up to 1400 RPM's and then cut out and die. Pulled up underneath the bridge....where I figured I would be out of the sun. Waited ...started up and idled rock steady at 800 RPM. Got on the freeway again ....just kind of cruised back home never above 3100 RPM. Put it aside for a couple of days.....drove it this morning...did the same thing at a stop light....idle went up to 1400 RPM and then died. Started up....went home. Any clues.....? Thought about the MPS starting to go bad or a stuck advance plate on the dizzy. Thanks for anyplace to start.... Rob |

I was gonna say the same thing, fuel filter. that is what I would check first. The tank could have some crud blocking the outlet too, so if the filter is good to go, make sure gas is getting to it.
After that it is time to test the FI components. Check out Brad Anders djet site on rennlist. it is all you will need. Jim |
