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.

The basic injection pulse width at idle is still determined by the "load" as measured by the MPS. Corrections are made to the pulse width for engine temperature, air temperature, and also for the idle condition. Idle condition is sensed by the ECU from the TPS contact. When it is "on" the position of the idle mixture knob on the ECU affects the mixture. The basic correction is set by the speed control circuit in the ECU. In early ECU's, there was no knob - the speed control circuit set the idle mixture condition. In later ECU's, the knob permitted the basic correction to be made richer or leaner by turning the knob. Most ECU's have a small "nick" in the plastic surround of the idle mixture control knob. That "nick" corresponds to the position of the knob where the mixture is set only by the speed control - the "factory" setting. I've found that most cars require a setting no more than +/- 3 "clicks" from this position to have the CO set correctly.
