My 2.0 started running rough a week or so ago, and I started checking everything by process of elimination.
Valves ok timing ok dwell ok fuel pressure ok Tps ok c.o. ok Purchased new vacuum pump today. Guess what? Zippo. Nada. Nothing. would not even pump up. Grabbed a mps from a 1.7. held at 20 for six minutes. Car runs much better, but not perfect. are they different? can it be readjusted to work on the 2 litre? |

It will need adjusting, or it will run too lean.
my 2.0 had a 1.7 mps for years, and I didn't know it, but it always ran hotter than i was comfortable with. eventually i burned some valves on a hot Texas summer day and had to rebuild the engine. when i finally realized the problem and adjusted the MPS with the engine running, it took a substantial adjustment to find the fastest running speed. The engine revs went from 2200 to 3500 (no load) at the same throttle position. But everything i've read indicates it's adjustment that makes the unit engine specific.
