Check your charging system regulating voltage. Connect a voltmeter between
ground and one of the terminals of the fuse box that is "live" while the
engine is running. If the voltage you measure there is much below 14 V with
the engine revved up a bit, then you need to replace the voltage regulator
(under the back seat.) Low system voltage makes the D-Jetronix run rich.
While this is a very common problem, it may not be YOUR problem.
