I know that everyone here has D-jet but does anyone know of any L-jet gurus anywhere? My car has smelled like it runs rich since I got it. While doing some exhaust work this morning, it was confirmed by the black soot everywhere. I thought I read somewhere that these cars ran rich from the showroom floor. I have backed the idle adjust all the way out with no apparent change in the richness of the mixture. It did change the RPM to a point though. I read in one thread something about coming in from working on the car and smelling like I had been standing next to a diesel campfire. That's me!

Yes Scott, I understand. The point I was trying to make is that if neither adjustment screws are having any effect, the spring tension for his AFS may be set too loose, thus giving too much fuel at all ranges of the flapper being open (throttle open). The two screws are for small incremental changes. The spring tension adjustment is for major and minor incremental changes. Both options are the same adjustments used for all cars with an L-Jet system for obtaining proper mixture for emissions reasons.
