I currently have injection on my 1.7 with the big bore kit. After several months I am still not able to get it to idle right when cold. Everything has been checked and replaced twice!
So I have been thinking about switching to carbs. I would like to know what you guys think about the idea. Thanks Attached thumbnail(s)

cam has not been replaced. idles to high then drops to not wanting to run until it gets hot and then runs great.

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
My first choice would be to fix the stock FI, some of the other members might be able to help you with this.
My second choice would be an aftermarket programmable FI system. You can use most of your stock FI intake, pump, etc. My last choice would be dual carbs, Weber’s or Dells, forget about the single progressive…it’s a piece of crap. Don’t forget to add a better dizzy and low-pressure fuel pump to the carb cost. |

This is OT but, by gawd that's a beautiful shade of blue and amazing finish. Any idea on color name / paint code? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

I'm with Brad and Mark. If the stock FI cannot easily be repaired, then go with aftermarket programmable FI.

the color is a early 90's 911 color, I believe is was called Electric Blue. From a distance is looks black, until you get close. At least that's what the body shop told me.
