Rod,

If you want to try a 3rd, I have one off an 83 which should be the same. BTW have you checked the thermotime switch to see if it is cutting off after a few seconds? Also, on the 83 AAV mount and water outlet there is a vacuum advance temp sensor. If yours has one, does it restrict the vacuum when cold?

I checked the thermo-time switch compared to the WSM resistances and it was a little off, so I tried another one and it made no difference.

I don't know about the vacuum advance temp sensor. Is this the temp II sensor? I've replaced that with a new one, but that may not be what you're referring to. It's obvious that you know a lot more about this than I do, so please bear with me.

Rod,

Not sure about your 82 but on the 83 that I got the AAV from, there is a vacuum temp switch that reduces the amount of advance vacuum until the water temp is up. I can't find it in a schematic but it is commonly used L jet and later Bosch fel injection systems.

Can you send me an image of where it is? Maybe I can locate it or determine if I have one or not.

Just replaced the TSZ switch unit, no change.

POOP!!

Thanks

Rod,

This isn't the best picture but for the moment it is all I have (grandaughter has the good camera). The temp switch is the black object at the lower front of the coolant return/mount. BTW one of the connectors are broken off the switch.

My 81 stopped using that temp switch when I removed the air pump & everything with it.

HP,

Was it connecting the EEC valve or the vacuum advance on the ignition?

My EEC valve is long gone - vacuum advance is plugged into the TB where its supposed to be.

YES!@!!

I have one of these sensors (no. 29 in the parts manual, "thermo valve") and it connects to the throttle body AND has a broken connector on the other side as well. It was on the bottom and not visible when I replaced the vacuum lines. Do you know what it is supposed to connect to? It holds vacuum, but is obviously a temp switch that allows passage of air. but from where to the throttle body?


I applied heat and ice to it and it appears to only open when it is "VERY" cold.
Room temperature and it's closed solid as a rock.

Rod,

Is yours still connected to the throttlebody? If yes, I would plug the ports so it won't leak when the engine is warm. It appears to go to the fuel vapor cannister so it wouldn't affect your timing.

It seems to only be open when it is very cold, so at these temperatures, it apparently isn't leaking. It would hold lots of vacuum and would only open when I put it on an ice cube for about a minute plus, them "click" and it goes full open.

Rod

Sorry, "yes" it is connected to the throttle body with a T connector on one of the small vacuum lines. I guess I could plug it, but it sure seems tight now.

That's the vapor recovery valve. It should have a small hose that goes to the ported vacuum on the back of the TB, by way of a thermo-valve installed on the heater hose connection at the rear of the right cylinder head.

Am I missing anything this time.

Thanks

Porken,

Yep, you can say "I told you so". Now back to square one for Rod.

You know, I'd eat a thousand "I told you so", is this would be fixed. I plugged the line and it made no difference. I think I'm going to intall thumb screws on the air box. ;-)

Next up, what is the switch in the vacuum line that is attached to the cross member and has two power lines to it? I've been through the parts manual and haven't found it yet. Can you save me some time? Porken, Dennis, anyone? Need a photo? I can do photos.

Rod
