OK, so I just got my '72 1.7 EFI running for the first time. Replaced all the vacuum and fuel lines and I thought everything was hooked up corectly per the pelican tech diagrams but after she fires up she idles for a few seconds and then zips right up to 4000 RPM (with no muffler I'm sure the neighbors loved that!). The throttle plate is almost all the way closed so it must be sucking air from somewhere else. I pinched off the big hose that goes from the plenum up near the oil fill and that seemed to slow it down a little, but I don't like letting it rev that high, especially when it hasn't been run in so long so I shut her off and figured I'd come in and ask the experts, any ideas? Regards, Brian Petry, Springboro, OH |

first get a muffler on it : )
maybe disconnect cold start valve? turn ecu knob counter clockwise all the way? check to see that intake plenum has all vents capped or connected. jim |
