after verifying and checking MPS , resetting the TPS i had a day of driving that was o.k. and the TPS fore sure was the cure for the bucking - so that was cured.
- then verified that the CHT was not in spec and this was the cause of my hot start issue that caused it to not start or want to idle correct after running for a while and turning off and trying to restart. - so now with new CHT that issue is resolved. -but a few days after posting this i could not get the car to start. which led to testing my plugs and wires again, - turns out #2 and #4 plugs looked completely different that #1,#3 pair. - so i pulled the injector trigger points plate and put in a spare that ihad already gotten from Bruce Stone just in case right before Octeenerfest- that whas when i had a similar thing i ghting that is when it realy started but - new injector triggers and...... bam- started right up. amazing the difference - like new now. DRove to work today. After sitting for 2 weeks after i put in the new battery and replaced thos points, fired right up. So these points weree the main issue. - hope this helps others with similar issues figure it out quicker than i did here. I tried to clean these and it didnt help. I kept them because i am hoping that som how they could be rebuild or replace the contacts or what ever causes them to fail. YOu cant find new one, Bosch quit making them!( i believe there are some chinese copies out there too) . Wish we could get Bosch to do a run of a few hundred of these because the D-jet can not run without them. |

Fantastic you got it fixed. The points need to have hardly any resistance. Don't use emory cloth or a point file. Something like a jeweler cloth.
