This escalated quickly! 1.8 is out, getting ready ready for the 2056 to go in.
 I will start to clean up the engine bay and the underside of the car to prep for the new motor.] |

QUOTE(FlacaProductions @ May 21 2026, 01:27 PM)  Yup! That's it! Seems kind of silly, but that helped me find 3 leaks in less than 10 minutes. For $65.00, seemed like a no brainer decision. The hardest part was clearing out all of the smoke from the engine bay after I found each leak, it just kind of hangs in there and you can't see anything!:D I just grabbed a big fan and it cleared out the smoke in seconds. The pump uses highly refined mineral oil as the smoke agent, harmless to the car. The smell reminds me of the smoke from the old HO scale train engines. I now know where the 'trouble spots' are on my car, so I was just now able to go back in and find what was causing me to run lean again. Checked the three original spots and sure enough, one of them was leaking again. Fixed that and I'm back in business. Further updates: I pulled up my skirt and adjusted the static setting one notch and now it's running 13.3-14.3 at idle. Goes fat on high speed (off idle). So, now I guess need to adjust the dynamic setting clockwise and then trim the air bypass for best idle. :shrug: I guess I'll keep noodling. It's not as scary once you just throw caution to the wind. Something else I found that many of you may find interesting... The car was surging at idle a bunch, wasn't sure what was causing that. I poked around and found that one of the big vacuum lines (the big one that connects to the air intake plenum) was collapsing. When the car was about to die... the vacuum would relax a bit... the line would no longer be collapsed.. idle would come back... repeat. I swapped out the line with one that is slightly thicker walled... and it went away. The line I swapped in is the wrong ID and it's not fully seated on the deceleration valve |
