Re: [T3] General notes


Hi all..... in my past experience with FI "run on" problem these are the 
things I have usually found.  If the intake valves are to tight, then the car 
"diesels" for a few revs after the key is turned off.  The valve stays open 
just a bit longer to draw in for a bit longer...or somethun like that?!?!  
Must be the Seismic By-Lateral Flux Coil Syndrome that they have been 
battling on the planet "ZXion" for the last few light years. Just like the 
dreaded fruit fly and the killer bees, it was sure to get here sometime!

The other thing is the engine running hot..... and that usually comes from 
the EXHAUST valves being tight. That problem probably stems from the "Way To 
Tight Exhaust Valve" syndrome from Wolfsburg...:+)

Seriously though folks... the valves are a given constant with these 
engines... and much blame is given to other parts of the car from them being 
loose.  I have set exhaust valves at .008 on troublesome cars and that has 
helped BUNCHES!  Does not seem to hurt anything ... car still runs strong and 
such. Setting the intake valves at .008 helps to see if the problem goes away 
with the run-on.

Keep um On the Road....Pat@Volksclocks
