73 2.0 djet idle problem Options

[jasons]

Car is a 73 2.0, new TPS, new FI Points, new TS1, existing TS2 (its the 017), all intake runners, hoses, gaskets, and PCV are new, injectors were cleaned and serviced by witchhunter. Also all parts are correct for the 73 2.0. I put a 270ohm resistor in too. Car seems to run lean at idle (I have an air fuel meter).

I had the wrong TS2, because I replaced it with what I thought was the correct replacement. Upon further review, I put the used 017 piece back in.

The car had been sitting when I bought it, so I dropped the motor to take care of a few problems, and I refurbed the FI while I was at it.

Car seems to have good power and pull hard, but it doesn't seem to idle quite right. It oscillates between, 1000 and less than 500, while the air meter reads lean. Air bleed and the knob both effect idle, but I can't get it to stabilize or richen up on the meter.

Also, I have a euro-race header and MSD. Should I play with the resistor or the FPR to richen the car for these parts?

I don't know if timing would do this, but it would be a good idea to check the timing as well if you haven't already done that.

I did time it, but that was when I was using the wrong head temp sensor. I don't think that should make a diff, but I kind of feel I should double check it.

At this point, you still have the idle hunt, Correct ?

Yup.

While the engine is running, hunting for the correct idle, unplug the temp sensor on the top of the intake plenum

Yeah, I should try that it. Brad Anders site says it will increase mixture by 10%. It just doesn't seem like the right way to fix it. But either way, it would be good to know the results.
