@emerygt350
I was asked my a member helping me with my high idle /vacuum leak problem how I currently have it hooked up .This is the diagram I am using .

I’m getting old - I don’t remember seeing that - possible I just missed it but like you I finally got into Tangerine site this evening and didn’t see the diaphragms listed anymore.

You might want to talk with Chris - it seemed like he was looking for an alternate supplier.

The kit does not show a diaphragm only a spacer ring for the diaphragm.
George shows he has one but I may need to call first and send in my old one , he will give you $75 per is post for anyone who sends him one but wants a $250 core charge .

Still pricey but what choices do I have

I’m going to rant for a minute bear with me

The Automobile Atlanta “euro” sensor is pure Bullshit. Although it may indeed richen the mix along with the CHT resistor this does not somehow make it high performance or automatically improve top end performance. Notice there is no data to support this claim of improved performance. It’s not recommended in PET. There is no dyno data, or AFM data here to back this claim.

This is AA at their worst. In addition to this Euro performance bullshit. The “euro” sensor is just the one year 037 sensor that was for the 73’ 2.0L. So rather than keeping these sort of oddball 037 one year parts available for the 73’s that MUST use them - they are being erroneously propagated to other cars they were never intended for.

In addition, their date ranges for all their MPS parts are erroneous - showing an 043 sensor as fitting 1970-76 2.0L. Let’s start with the fact that there were no 2.0L’s until 73. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Then of course we have the situation where the doctor is trying to buy up cores at $75 while charging $250 for a core? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) I don’t begrudge AA they need to make a profit to survive. Somehow AA has survived while many other Porsche specialty suppliers (Tweeks, Performance Products, etc) didn’t. Obviously he has inventory carry costs, etc., but this just seems a bit excessive and a shitty way to treat the community that he too is depending on. But in all fairness - he’s a survivor. I’m not understanding something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Again, in all fairness, AA does seem to support those that call and need some handholding so he’s obviously doing something right in that balance of “tech support” vs hocking parts. They do stock a lot of parts that no one else does - so there is that upside to what AA provides.

PET call for an 043 sensor for all 74’ - 76’ cars. It is cheaper since you’re not paying extra for the marketing BS.



I would highly recommend finding a good used part from another member vs AA. You’re likely going to need to retune it anyway. This is due to changes in modern pump gasoline, wear / volumetric efficiency changes in your engine vs factory original, and the rebuilt MPS that AA is selling . . . Well we don’t know exactly how those are calibrated. There have been reports that the FCI parts don’t use the Copper -Berillium diaphragm and had varied tuning.
