1974 1.8 with L- jet. Been playing with a wide band air fuel meter and noticed that when I lift the throttle the AFR goes to max value on the gauge. I thought it was supposed to go lean. I checked the throttle position switch and it checks out fine. Going to check the wiring harness next.
What else should I check? Decel valve? |

I checked the fuel press reg and all is golden. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I get the same low idle at the bottom of hills as you do GT350. Runs great as I get going again. I dont think it is fouling but maybe with the temporarily reduced head temps the computer is doing something to cause this. I will note my vacuum on the hill and see if it compares with yours. Wonkipop, where in Oz do you live? I worked for a Brisbane company called EGR Automotive for a couple of years here in the US office. I currently have been employed for the last 13 years by an Aussie owned company. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) how long does the rich condition last on your probing spectrometer when it comes up. is it all the way through deacceleration and on coasting all the way down hills? |
