Setting Fuelling - Why does the DMC PRV Hunt?

["Scott Mueller" <scott.a.mueller@xxxx>]

Here in the South, Alabama specifically, when we say that "Dog Won't
Hunt" we mean that it is not working correctly. The PRV is set up to
hunt so that the emissions are as low as possible while the engine is
idling. Perhaps the difference in the fuel injection systems settings
are simply the difference in emissions standard between the US and GB.

Take a look at eh emissions report on the car. Mine was checked in CA
several years ago and the readings were so low the technician was
convinced that his tester was not working correctly. He checked another
vehicle and his machine was in fact working correctly.

Almost certainly not, but we know from a Renaut expert that the setup
procedure is different and the Renaults don't hunt.
