My car has been sitting for too long. It's time to get it back in driving shape.
While assessing the condition of the engine, I found that the head on the driver's side has some issues to address. Here is the hardware that was holding the intake to the head: I know, right? We have seen this before. Yes, those are threads that came out next to the threaded rod/nut combo on the left. It looks like I have to drop the engine and pull that head. Question: Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in Central Florida to fix the head put the studs back in? |

Malcom, for whatever reason the decel valve does look different for D-jet and it looks a lot like the fuel pressure regulator. I had to study them to figure out they were different parts.
You can see them both in this picture. The decel valve is in the foreground, mounted in the incorrect location. The FPR is in it's correct location in the upper right corner. Notice the notched fittings like you described for holding the fuel hoses. The decel valve has smooth pipes. |

That is most definitely a Fuel Pressure Regulator, not a decel valve...

Except for the adjustment bolt on the FPR... which I learned (the hard way) is there just to LOOK AT, not play with, unless you have an inline fuel pressure gague handy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
