Yeah, I know, newbie question but seems better than trashing an engine.
EDIT - this car does not have the center gauge console. I am about to put the '73 1.7 D-Jet into regular use and while it seems to run OK I am a touch nervous that I don't seem to have a way to monitor how hot it is getting. Part of my jitters are that, while the car seems to start and run well, it am worried it might be too lean because when I shut it off the other day it dieseled for a couple of seconds. I know that could be a leaky injector, but I could be a too hot engine temp (I think). When I spray starting fluid around all of the vacuum lines while the car is running I do no get any RPM fluctuations. Any tips / best practices to pass along? Thanks! |
