Hey Dan, does your fan have the 7.5' timing mark? Not the same as the Djet mark. BTW, I've got a calibration for the airflow meter, position vs resistance, if you want to make a few static checks on the meter.
My wife likes the dancing banana, so this is for her. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Dan,
You really need to get a service cover. Tom |

QUOTE(Tom @ Aug 13 2010, 08:17 AM)  Dan, You really need to get a service cover. Tom Yes I do, I keep using good towels. Wife hates that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks for the links and stuff. I'll use them for sure. Knowing the last time I did this and how much of a PITA it was discovering all the bad parts of the FI. I have my fingers crossed what I haven't replaced is good. I did grab 4 new injectors, $120, cheap! I didn't however get a new fuel pressure reg or new TPS so I'm hoping those worked on the last engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Parts probably won't be here until next week. So things are at a hold until then. |

Getting more done, some gaskets showed up yesterday.
When I picked up the FI from Rich, neither one of us knew L-Jet all that well. Turns out the system we snagged off of the donor 914 was missing a few things. The AAV, Decel or anti-backfire vavle and a couple other minor parts. Attached thumbnail(s)

As luck would have it, Rich just acquired a 74' 1.8 parts car 914 with the L-Jet intact, but not run for 10 years. Good to source those couple of parts and just look at, take some pictures. Some of the stuff I realized I needed is labeled.

The AAV valve you can't really see, it's tucked under there.
So far, parts have been installed just minutes ago on my 914, so getting closer! Still waiting on new fuel line and a bunch of vac lines. Tomorrow might be a trial fire off with the FI? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Got the rest of the parts today, hooked up all the vac lines, fuel lines, return line. Went under the engine, sorted out more fuel lines, replaced the non-german low pressure lines with properly sized German high pressure FI lines etc.
Started to think to myself I might actually fire this thing tonight? Attached thumbnail(s)

So up to the front trunk to change out the fuel pump. I remembered there are more low pressure lines that need replacing up there as well as checking the return fuel line is proper and hooked up.
Decided to pull the tank. Start to pull the fuel from the tank, filled both my little cans and both are cars just got tanks filled today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Well, I still have a couple of gallons in there, gonna have to wait until tomorrow maybe. Gotta go use some gas first! Driving my Monster-Square so that otta use some. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Hah, thats why I keep my 78 F250 with twin tanks! That thing is great for getting rid of old gas as it will burn anything! 20 year old gas and it runs fine....

Pulled the tank last night, replaced lines, fuel pump, put tank back in, put some fuel back in, hooked the battery back up.
Crank, crank, crank, crank Hmm, nothing More cranking More nothing. Hmm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Doh! Forgot to hook those little ground wires on the engine block from the FI harnes. Duh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Crank, VROOM! Drove it around last night for a little while, filled the tank. I know I have to adjust for a 1.8 FI system on my 2.0, but seems pretty smooth. One issue I have noticed, my throttle takes a Looooooooooooooooooooong time to return to idle. It's smooth, just seems to take forever, like I don't have a spring. I do have a spring from the arm to the plenum. Should there be another spring? Anyone have any pictures of L-Jet throttle return srping set-ups? Maybe I don't have it on correctly? In the end, I'm really glad I bought new injectors, all new fuel and vac lines and a new fuel pump along with other little things. Eliminates many possible issues. I did drive it into work today, started right up this morning, nice idle. Sans the throttle return issue and just setting it for 2.0 liters, I think it's good to drive!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) The slow return to idle is due to your deccel valve. First, make sure you've got it plumbed correctly -- axial (center) fitting goes to plenum, radial (side) fitting goes to air inlet elbow. Next, consider running in the adjuster screw to set the regulation pressure lower. Finally, consider ditching the damned thing. It doesn't do anything anyway. |

I just checked, got it hooked up correctly.
I know it doesn't really do much of anything.....well, books say it eliminates backfire on decel. I have some caps and will plug it off when I get home, see what that does. If it pops or backfires on decel, I'll buy a new one and install it. If it runs and sounds good under all conditions, I'll just leave the ports plugged off and not put one back in the system. I think most of the D-jet systems I've had, I've removed the decel valve. Never seemed to make a difference. |
