I can seem to get my 914 to not run Rich. I have checked Injector spray paterns, replaced cap,rotor, points, condensor,plugs, plug wires. and belive that my vacuum routing is correct. I question the integrety of the MPS. if i remove the vacuum hose that runs to it and clamp it off i get no change at all in performance. I was told by a co-worker that i should drill out the riviots and check to see if it is gummed up. I just removed it and am getting ready to take it apart, when out of curiousity I ohm checked the teminals and this is what i got : pin 8 - pin 10 350 ohms, pin 7 - pin 15 90 ohms. is this normal? does anyone know of any way to check the MPS. Or could any one do a quick ohm check on theese terminals to let me know if that is a correct reading? any help would be greatly apreciated.

there are different MPS for different years, and engine sizes, so be careful, also some have been tampered with (seal removed over the screw)
If you are on the cheap (and who isn't) , and do not want to pay new or rebuild price, then give HPH (Brad) a call, and see if he has any used ones, he should be able to get you the right one for your car. And coming from them, you should have no worry about it not working. e-bay is a crap shot, you may get a deal, you may not, seller could be dishonest (rare but happens) or honestly knows little about what he/she is selling. then again, it might be perfect, for really cheap, so bid accordingly, ask seller many question, make sure the tamper plug still is sealed, and check the part numbers, make sure seller performs the vacuum test, and resistance tests. If you are having a vacuum leak, then that will certainly effect your mixture, so hopefully this is your only problem. Avoid the temptation to toss out the FI for carbs. An FI engine has a cam that works best with FI, not carbs, and a FI system that has been gone thru is very reliable, gets great milage (something I have not yet seen from carb conversions), requires less tweeking to keep in tune. I love my D-Jet. $800 on webders for a stock engine would be a waste. Keep you grounds clean, and your fuel lines fresh, just keep on D-Jetting! dave |
