[DML] Re: New parts don't ALWAYS make your car run better...

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you did all this work correctly than you are very close. I would
agree that the mixture screw must be adjusted. You should have gotten
a plug to put in the hole over the mixture screw in all the parts you
ordered. It MUST be installed for the car to run right otherwise you
have a HUGE vacuum leak after the air sensor that someone misadjusted
the mixture screw to compensate for. The only "proper" way to adjust
the mixture screw is to use an exhaust gas analyzer. You can tweak it
close but to get the motor to really run right and have decent gas
mileage you do need the analyzer. You can also get it close with a
dwell meter on the Lambda system. You might also want to adjust the
valves when you replace the O2 sensor. Reset the Lmabda counter
afterwards. Check the timing and make sure the vacuum AND mechanical
advance are working properly.
