I changed the oil on my 75 2.0 teener today. The last time I changed oil on a type IV engine I was 17 (I had a 75 bus back then) - I'm 43 now and the dealerships have been doing all maintnence on my vehicles since then.
It all came back to me - wasn't hard at all. No leaks, either. So, flush with this success, I was driving about and noticed that the idle gets slower and slower as the engines warms up. It's get down to about 500 r.p.m. - that's a bit rougher than I like. So, I figure - Mr. Mechanic (carefully concealed as a software engineer) that I would adjust the idle. Right. I should have remeberd the software engineers mantra - that's a hardware problem. My 2.0 has the L-jet FI. The idle is adjusted by moving the clampon the trottle cable end to another location. After fooling with it, giving up - then going back out and trying again, and giving up again - it seemed like the right time to ask for advice. The snag is that if the trottle body is allowed to closed compeletly - the engine dies. So, as the htrottle cable heats up and expands, it get's longer, the idle get slower, and eventually the vehicle idles much too slow. Since I 'Adjusted' it, well, I have made it worse. Any ideas how I can get this idling right? Thanks in advance! Marc... |
