All,
Lots of threads about FORD relays (really?, would not any starter relay work) but this trouble is different. In the manual, it says to hold the accelerator pedal to the floor when starting a DJet, so I tried this. I would like to FIX this so I can start when the car is hot like a normal car (yea, I know it is not a normal car), has anyone made a modification to the instrumentation to fix this issue? Perhaps CHT modification? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Other than actual vapor lock which I've never experienced (my pump is on the lower firewall), but from a D-Jet perspective Brad. Anders posted something here a couple of years ago where he surmised the issue is that the car is excessively lean during a hot restart. He was playing with the idea of using a variable resistor on the CHT that you could control from the cabin. I can't seem to find that thread jsut now.
In my case the issue was usually that the car was somewhat difficult to start and I had to feather the throttle for about 30 seconds before the idle would stabilize. What really helped me at least from the starting standpoint was using the hi-torque starter of all things. |

I will reach to Mr. Anders (Mr. Djet) and see what he recommends.
Will close out this thread with some discovery. ASAP Thank you CTC911CTC QUOTE(BeatNavy @ Jun 5 2020, 06:18 AM)  Other than actual vapor lock which I've never experienced (my pump is on the lower firewall), but from a D-Jet perspective Brad.
