I e tested 4 now and after 10 min none of them close completely or at all. Either way could it be because of a bad connection? Not hot enough? I know atleast one, the newest one was tested as good and is very clean. I know they can go bad inside but I do not think they all are.
But after 10 min of car at idle its still pulling air thru, suggestions please.

I had a thought on this, wondering if this makes sense.

If when i last set the timing the aar was partially open, would this not have caused the distributor to be placed different to compensate for the effect of the AAR, so now if i close off the AAR it almost kills it, and even if the idle screw is out its not there, and so i was thinking that maybe timing might not be where it should be, if i advance the distributor slightly this should bring that idle up a little with the AAR plugged(as if it were closed- when hot)- like it should be.

right now after running it 20 min last night idle was at 1100- 1250 while hunting and is running great down the road, and i could live with that - but i know its not right- with the a.a.r. half open it seems this is the best i can do - unless i can get a spare MPS to test(043).

Hi Phil,
The timing is a mechanical setting indepedent of the issues we have here, but do check it.
So it is still surging indicating a lean condition? Does adjusting the idle mixture on the ECU have any effect (even if it isn't the desired one)? No part throttle surging down the road?
Considering that most all failures, even vacuum leaks, default to rich condition and because I know you already replaced FI points and most everything else, I think we are still looking at a MPS setting that your engine is not happy with.

Scott, i was playing around with that last night, - right now the ECU idle adjustment is set only one click clockwise, it is best there, - if i go 2 clicks more rich(clockwise) it gets worse. - so either the mps is way off or the ECU is off(my interpretation- do you think?

by the way you have played with these- someone has some unmolested 049 MPS for sale on this board. i believe that is set for 1.7, can those be recalibrated for a 2.0 ? i have not been able to find a reasonable 043 MPS(75-2.0)

Hey Phil, this is curious as that would indicate a rich condition, but you are saying it surges at idle still?
Yes that MPS can be recalibrated.
