I will have to check that then...I did the refurb on my original AFM, a known working AFM (in replacement) still reacts the same..a new L-jet brain may be my next move

thanks

 

I think you need to replace temp II and temp/time. Jumper stuff.
Do the tests with noid light.

Trying to get you down a path here. I guess Maleficio is too.

Really not sure what you've actually done to the car, even after reading previous posts, nor what tests would cause you to settle on the Ljet brain or jetronic spark control units as causes at this point. It will run with / without O2 sensor / with bad O2 sensor ( though sometimes with an acceleration miss, flat spots and high petrol consumption). Am curious about exact nature of vac leak and would like to see closeup pics all around engine compartment.

Pictures might help so we can verify together certain things at CEpanel and in engine compartment. It can't be too difficult to fix, though.

 

A fuel injector noid test light yields so much information about the system that I will never troubleshoot without one again.

 

Too damn hot and humid lately

I made well notes of what you guys suggested..hopefully I can knock most of them out this weekend, Expecting a relief in the temperatures here.

Will report back with what I did, and some pics...

Again thank you for the help..

 

OK finally got a chance to mess with her

I recalled first last move was a simple wrapping of electrical tape around the harness connector to the AFM

So I unwrapped the tape...and now I don't receive a 2-3 second start..so I suspect the issue in in that harness........ so I will check that with an assistant wiggling

 

Good. Now you have real info to work with.

 

Maleficio, you suggested that earlier..THANKS

but as I had few minutes today..I re-read all your and Lanseers suggestions...thought "it is something simple I am overlooking"

Then thought last thing I did was wrap simple electrical tape before I had the no-start. I will will check the connector harness...

 

Sounds like the tape wrapped tightly and compressed the wires together, and two or more being exposed touched together, or a wire became broken. Good work.

 

Looked at the harness today..the 4th female connector was crushed, thus not making contact with the AFM.

Had an assistant hold it in and jiggle..and behold Bwwaaaaa again..sounded sweet

I will be repairing it this weekend (among other things)

THANKS all for all the help

I think I will order replacement sensors and relays just in case (no idea of their age)

 

Excellent work.

 

Thoughts spurred somewhat by your exceptional avatar, depending on the assistant, this clearly can be a very good thing.

 

LOL

 

Ok, the connection was pin 7, but it's so bad I can't remove the wire to fix it, so I prefer to cutoff the connector and wire in a new one..saw some posts about the below AMP Junior connector.

Anyone actually have experience using this?

 

Never done it. I'm curious as to how the female pin became crushed? Odd.

Can you post a closeup of the bad pin?

 

I'll try to get a good shot of it tomorrow and post.
