Here are my thoughts on a systematic approach to optimizing D-Jetronic for a specific stock or near-stock engine - just putting this down and looking for comments:
Comments? If the intake system has been significantly modified (e.g. different cam, big valves, etc.), then to do the dyno procedure correctly, an assessment of the VE changes would need to be made, and the ECU daughter-card SC circuit would need mods - but this is beyond a reasonable approach for most people. |

So, from what I see there, if I want the motor to be a tad richer over the entire heat range, I have to start at 500 ohms.
Anything less seems to only affect the warm up time period, which may only last a few minutes. Now, back to the MPS. What is a simple and effective way to set up the MPS on a bench, like it was done at the factory, BUT...big BUT...with normal tools, normal guages...I will consider normal a hand vacuum pump. I would love to find a way to do this without buying the two (one time use) tools to set up the car. Without an O2 sensor, and without the special meter (cant remember the name) These two tools seem to be one time use only..once the car is set, its set...no need to futz with it iny more, at least the FI settings..they are not dynamic, so no need to watch them with a meter/guage...who cares.

You can try it, but again, the issue is you'll never have a stable mixture when warmed-up. QUOTE Anything less seems to only affect the warm up time period, which may only last a few minutes. It only affects warm-up if it's 200 ohms or so. Warm up lasts a lot longer than a few minutes, even in warm areas (I live in Phoenix) it takes a minimum of 10 minutes in the summer and up to 20 minutes from what I've seen. QUOTE Now, back to the MPS. What is a simple and effective way to set up the MPS on a bench, like it was done at the factory, BUT...big BUT...with normal tools, normal guages...I will consider normal a hand vacuum pump. There is no simple way to properly set up the MPS using "normal" (i.e. found in nearly every garage) tools ang guages. See my web pages for details. The only way I've found that you can accurately set an MPS to factory spec is to have a setup that simulates the FI system running at a set engine speed, and to measure the injection pulse duration over a full range of load conditions. This requires a specialized D-Jetronic tester or a homebuilt setup that simulates the contact trigger points operation at a set engine speed. You also need a reference characteristic for the MPS you're calibrating to. I've gone and done this for the 043, 037, and 049 MPS's. My web page describes a procedure using a Wavetek LCR meter, but I do not consider this to be an accurate procedure. It's OK for getting an MPS to a workable state, but has too much variation to be a calibration method. |
