O.K., I'm better now... D-jet is driving me to drink. The 1.7 starts and runs well until it warms up. After 10 min. idling smoothly @ 900 it hesitates two or three times and stops idling at all, which means I can't keep it running long enough to set the timing. I can keep it going by feathering the throttle, but my nice smooth idle is gone. I reproduced the symptom three times in a row today. By clamping off the Vac hoses one-by-one it appears the FI components seem to be doing what they're supposed to. No other vacuum or capacitance probs. found so far. Haven't checked the injectors. This started after I repaired the ground strap on my distributor -- must have bumped something else. CHT? I have the FI diagnostic checklists and am working on them. If this was a carburetor I'd say it was running with a clogged idle jet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) . These symptoms seem specific and uncommon. At least I've not seen others posts that describe the same thing. Did I miss one? |

Rich Rich, I forgot to thank you for the reference to Cap'n crusty's valve adjustment process. Heard of such, but never before in sufficient detail to be useful. Found it the thread and it worked well for me. As I was underneath the car, it struck me that the different methods for setting lash seem to represent a spectrum of "automechanica" that starts with a standard Haynes approach. In the middle of the spectrum is the modified method found in "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive." and at the end is Cap'n crusty's way, which is the most logical, but requires visualization of the operation of the motor's top and bottom end. |
