I purchased my car already converted to Dual Weber IDF 40's.
I am interested in reverting to Fuel Injection. It is a '75 1.8 ( Code EC), which I believe requires the L-Jetronic system. I will post a Want Ad on the classifieds for a COMPLETE, FUNCTIONAL assembly. Failing which, I anticipate having to source individual parts; the composition of which I am at a loss. I have found this Lapuwali blog entry listing all parts pertaining to D-Jet retrofit. I would very much appreciate a similar parts list for the L-Jet system. Thanks in advance Rohantha |

I have every single part except the fuel pump off of my running 1.8 1974
I put the info over on your ad in the for sale section as it's a more appropriate place. |

Thanks in advance Hoses? Looks like something is funky with the injector harness. May want to have Bowlsby do you up a new one. Not a lot of fun to chase problems that are from bad wires. |

look closely at the large elbow that connects the air flow sensor to the throttle body before you install it. even a tiny crack or split will screw things up. remember to buy a appropriate fuel pump, new phenolic gaskets, might as well new injector seals, oil fill tower gasket…all the disposables. prob send the injectors out for refurbish. any vac leaks and you'll have a permanent low idle.

You can block off the decel valve. It is a waste of time. As some one said, check that large elbow for cracks. I had rough idle problems. The elbow looked good and everything else checked out. Then I found a small crack right on the edge of the top hose clamp, on the bottom of the elbow. Replaced the elbow and it runs smooth.

I see both fuel rails, and all four injectors.
The resistor pack is not evident, as 914fahrer said. Fuel hoses and vacuum lines should be replaced regardless, as they are almost certainly old and brittle and either cracked now or about to start. I don't see the "manifold boots", the ~2.5" wide ~3" long vacuum hoses that go from the plenum ("intake air distributor") to the intake runner pipes. Then again, those should be replaced anyway. Look for a CHT sensor in your right-side cylinder head near the #3 spark plug. If it's not there, you'll need to pick one up and install it. I don't see a fuel pressure regulator. I don't see a fuel pump. But pretty much any pump that can supply the specified pressure and volume should work. Note that the above items may still be present; I'm just not seeing them at this time. (Took me a couple of looks through to see the second fuel rail and injectors, for instance.) --DD |

My appreciation to all those who commented.
Especially to DD... that was THOROUGH and exactly what I was hoping for. :-) I have so far purchased the Resistor Pack, Manifold Boots and Fuel Pump. The CHT and Fuel Press Reg are new to me. Will source those from from Pelican. Thanks again !!! |

L-Jet system has eventually reached me in Sri Lanka and today we finally test fitted system... and it runs!
Getting it to run smoothly will happen soon enough I hope. I am trying to figure out where the in the engine compartment, the following components should be placed: 1. Thermo Time Switch (TTS) 2. Auxiliary Air Valve (AAV) 3. Injector Resistor Pack 4. Deceleration Valve Appreciate very much if anyone can identify the respective locations... pictures would be even better. Thanks |

To help trouble shoot my old Ljet system I made plugs that go into the elbow to eliminate those hoses.
I want to say that even a bad oil filler cap oring can be problematic. |

Resistor pack and double relay both mount on the battery tray support, IIRC. Under the battery for sure...

Another view of the AAV before I replaced some hoses...right behind the oil dipstick.

Thanks 914Mike and orthobiz.
For the benefit of others who may have the same query: here is a picture of the Double Relay (yellow arrow) and Resistor Pack ( mounted directly below). Photo grabbed from a past ClayPerrine post... |
