The Miss Found

[Dave Glubrecht]

I believe you are now in complete need of a new FI Dist.  That is an
adjustment for fuel mixture (per cyl) off idle.  I know no way of adjusting
these propperly.
On a rabbit that I did a engine swap, I found it to be lean on the top end
and I was able to richen up by turning these adjustments 1/16 turn each, but
I made sure they were turned evenly from the factory settings.  I don't even
remember which way was richer.
  It has been a long time, but I believe there may be little filters (at
least on some) under each fuel injector line bolt where it goes into the
fuel dist.

Many thanks to all that responded to The Miss, with a nod to Jay Rabe for
getting nailing the way to test my hypothesis:

I did and it did.. So, now that the miss has been tracked, has anyone any
experience with taking the distribution head apart.
I have a Bosch book that I seem to recall mentions that the assembly should
not be disassembled...
I've come up with pulling all the fittings, lifting the "Plate" and blowing
compressed air back through the outlet, hoping to launch the offending
debris out the fuel inlet.
Other than that, I've pulled a few of the hex drive "caps" adjacent to the
outlets, and pulled the tapered plugs located under the caps.
I've found realy filthy gas/rust/debris in there, and will pull and clean
the rest, however, on replacement, the car ran even worse.
Should these plugs be bottomed out, or adjusted in some way?
Any help would be appreciated.
Lastly,if all else fails,I'll be facing replacement of the whole "box"..
Does anyone happen to have one handy for sale? I'd prefer one freshly
removed from a system, to one that had been off, and drying/open to
contamination for years.
Best regards, and aTdHvAaNnKcSe for the continuing help and support.
