Hi all, it’s a FI diagnosis I’m after, please help.
1973 1.7L standard FI system. When hot after a long run, I have a really rubbish tick-over and car wants to stall. I thought it would be MPS as mine has already been opened by a PO, but it reads 94 ohms on the outer coils and 398ohms on the inner terminals. It seems to hold vacuum too (only tried sucking on it, don’t have a gauge) so can I rule that out?? I really want some further checks to do as it’s running so rich I can see smoke at a hot idle and it’s difficult getting it to pull away without bogging down (only when hot - it’s great when cold!!) So it’s a hot only problem I’m having. Thanks for any help. |

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply. Can you put that MPS aside I emailed about earlier for me (if you have one in stock after checking) No nothing has recently changed. A few months back went through everything and all seemed to be okay. Fitted electronic Ignition and all that is working well too. Just the last couple of times after being out for a long run it comes home limping and rich.. The mixture screw when turned anti clockwise upped the idle a little last night with a click or two - didn’t want to go twisting it any more. |
