I have a 1973, 1.7 with FI still on it. The car is stalling at idle after the engine warms up. Any ideas what to adjust or look for? Things that may be contributing, but not sure. I think there is a vaccum leak. It smells like it is running rich. I recently replaced the fuel pump.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Terry

Does the 1973 1.7 have the air intake temp sensor that hooks into the plenum? It is by the throttle body. The 1973 2.0L has it. If the 1.7L has it, disconnect it from the wiring harness. The pet catalog says that it is part of the 1.7L. That will up the rpms slightly. That is what I did when my 2.0L engine warmed up and started to stumble and lose rpms at idle. Brad Mayeur told me that with these old engines you can't always find the answer on issues and that the tps 1 sensor isn't needed. He says it lowers mpg but the rpms at idle improves.

The part number is 311906081a
