Had a previous thread starting in 2022 about my 73 1.7 standard D-Jet running way too rich and flooding to the point where it wouldn't start. It's been an ongoing issue. I've had a go. 2 garages have had a go. I'm at the point where I'm beginning to lose hope.
A recap. Bought the car 2021, had a problem with intermittent flooding. So far have: Checked MPS - holding vacuum. Replaced CHT sensor and tested. Working when flooded. Replaced fuel pump and tested pressure. Replaced all vacuum hoses and tested for leaks. Valves set and rechecked. New 123 distributor. New injectors. Each time I think I've cracked it and it runs and drives - sometimes for a month or so. Then I'll go to start it and it'll flood again to the point where it contaminates the oil. I feel like I've never managed to get to the bottom of the problem. Just keep replacing parts. Thinking maybe a return line that intermittently blocks? I'm kind of at a loss. |

The intermittent cht is an interesting idea but it seems like something that would go while driving. Jiggle test?
The sitting and losing it makes me think more on the lines of broken logic control in the ECU. Some combination of signals resulting in pig rich when it shouldn't. Mps of course is the major suspect. If you do want to try my extra ECU, just let me know. One more thing you could exclude before tackling the MPS. |
