There's a current thread about hunting idle and somebody (I forgot who) mentioned that they yanked the plug on their intake temperature sensor and the car ran much better, due to the slightly richer mixture.
Well after consulting the Brad Anders d jet bible, I decided to run a little test myself. I went out for a drive with the wife, got it warmed up, and did a bunch of runs with it plugged and unplugged. It runs fine, but it does run just a little better with the sensor unplugged. Normally, I am not a fan of doing stuff like this but I have clamped down EVERYTHING and fought the good fight with vaccum leaks...and I've still found it runs just a tad too lean and you can't richen the mixture any other way through the throttle range right? what do you think? In principle it feels so wrong but when the 914 and I are alone and gunning the throttle...it feels so right!!!
