RE: [DML] Re: Centering the air meter plate

Matt, Since the link is to long and won't show you the alignment, go to the
Reference page on my web site and then to fuel reference and you will see
the air flow meter and how it needs to be in the rest position. I have
several around here from Porsche and Mercedes and Delorean if you need more
information.

P.S. The link you posted is a copy of the Bosch K Jetronic Technical
Instructions and doesn't truly reflect out K Jet system. Our plate goes down
not up.

Couple of opinions here how to adjust the rest position of the air
metering plate.  Here's one more that says to bend the "spring."

Not a bad page at all as far as covering the Bosch K-Jetronic
system, in fact, I think it should be placed into the tech section
of DMCNEWS incase this company ever decides to remove it.
