My '74 1.8 normally runs beautifully but with our present 90 degree F ambient temps it runs hot and won't idle.
Temp gauge is just short of the red zone. (Next time I will get NHS to put numbers on the gauges.) Thermostat works - checked with hot air gun. Flaps are opening Warm air guides installed Tried enriching idle mixture by screwing in air bypass screw to max - no effect Would appreciate help from the brains trust Thanks David Brisbane, Australia |

Got an old AFM and looked inside but couldn't find the cone shaped sensor.
Could you please help identify it.  |

QUOTE(nihil44 @ Feb 15 2018, 04:33 PM)  Got an old AFM and looked inside but couldn't find the cone shaped sensor. Could you please help identify it. Look inside the air intake end of the assembly. Some I have seen are cone shape and others are cylinder shaped. They have all been an off white plastic |
