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!

the CIS-E from a jetta, golf, etc? i think ed morrow ran it on the turbo car.

Naaaahhhh. Digital EFI from an 86+ 2.1L Vanagon. It should drop right in. Put the ECU in the interior, maybe behind the seat, and everything else goes right on the engine. Use the old fuel pump and a Jetta CHT sensor screws into the block somewhere. Injectors fit in place of the L-jet (or D-jet) ones, AFM in place of the stock one, distrobutor drops in. Oh, and that was Ed Villela. The Cap'n
