Re: fuel distributor noise(buzzing)

[steveb@falcon.kla-tencor.com (Steven Buchholz)]

... don't go out and buy a new one just yet!  The valve on my '83 urq 
is quite noisy as well, but it works just fine (Hmmm, I've also been 
told that the fuel pump on my '88 5kCSQW is the loudest they've heard ... 
I wonder if there's a common thread here :).  My recommendation to you 
is that you check your duty cycle readings first ... chances are that 
you'll see that the F/TCU is actually forcing the duty cycle to be very 
rich and causing the running problems you're seeing.  It may actually 
be the true that your problem is due to a faulty sensor to the F/TCU 
(have you changed your OXS lately?) and that is actually the source of 
your problem.  

HTH!
