So I'm finally going to get a chance to work on my 72 1.7 with d jet a little bit after having it mostly together for the past several months (Been away at school). Any way I just put a new motor in and while trying to hook back up the wiring harness and all of the vacuum lines I'm not sure everything's right. It will start ok, but it won't hardly rev at all and it's running extremely rich. Is there a particular sensor I should take a look at, or do I just need to trace everything back? I've only got a couple days before I've got to take off again so hopefully I can figure it out pretty soon.

Look for vacuum leaks, even where you dont think you have any. I have the same problem with my d-jet, too. I replaced the vacuum line from the MPS to the plenum and the real thin line from the throttle to the dizzy. neither one had obvious lekas, but it made a huge difference. I'm in the process of replacing more lines as I go. I also replaced the throttle body gasket. The rubber parts I replace the better it gets.
Good Luck! Konrad 72/4 |
