Subject: Thanks So Much!
Thanks to Leon Martinez for a very informative and well written e-mail about
my "Bogged Down" Squareback. When I say loaded run I mean on the Hwy, up
hills, high speed, 3 adults in the car, in Arizona.
Where do I get a head temp gage for the Type3 and where does it mount?
I have no problem at idle when under normal driving conditions, just a very
low idle after my "loaded Run" condition.
I did as you suggested and disconnected the air temp sensor at idle and the
RPM dropped a bit. I did this on a Cold-Cool engine, outdoor temp about 60.
Should I try this test on a Normal temp engine to Hot?
Tell me more about the washer - metal? does this washer go on just like any
other, would it not still conduct the heat? Sounds interesting.
Tell me about the fuel ratio meter and fuel ratio adjustment on your dash.
Some History on my system - I had a hesitation problem with the car before
and after my engine rebuild. When I would accelerate cool or Hot (more when
hot) from a standing start it would hesitate, and even stall. I went through
all kinds of things from valve adj., timing, voltage regulator. . . the
works. The only thing I could do was to make the overall mixture richer by
tweeking the pressure sensor. That solved the problem. Could I be in need of
further adjustment? I did not want to push my luck and screw up the sensor
by over doing it. I did not nor do I have an oxygen sensor to place in the
tailpipe to really do it right. (how much and where can I get such a
sensor/gauge?)
So what do you think, and what would you recommend I do next?
Thanks So Much, Chris
