I have a 1973 2.0 built to a 2056 running stock fuel injection. I am running points and I have verified the dwell and timing are correct. The air temperature sensor on the throttle body is disconnected due to it causing the engine to hunt excessively at idle. The valve were set less than 500 miles ago.
The car starts and runs fine on initial start. It at times has a little hesitation on acceleration due to the wear on the TPS board I think. As the engine warms up into the normal range, I experience a significant loss of power. The temp never goes past the "M" on the temp gauge. There is never any pinging. But there is just no instant response to pressing the accelerator that is present when the engine is cool. At times pushing the accelerator results in little or no engine response for a brief period and the engine almost stalls. I have checked numerous times for vacuum leaks, lose wires, and made sure the grounds are good. Checked the plugs and it does not appear to be running rich or lean. I tried to calibrate the TPS according to the Pelican article but never really got the readings as indicated in the article. I am going to go back through it one more time but I need some suggestions as to what I should check next? |

All the engine FI sensors are used to calculate he pulse width, including temperatures (TS1 and TS2).
The TPS must be calibrated correctly, it has the idle switch and 'accelerator pump' functions that are also ECU signals. It apparent that your MPS needs adjustment to adjust the air:fuel mix to the characteristics of your car, which can only be correctly done with an exhaust gas analyzer or wide band O2. |
