Fast idling EX engine
Posted: Mon May 31, 2010 2:33 pm
Hi all
I'm having a bit of trouble with my wife's car. It's got the EX carb engine, with a Pierburg carb. She doesn't want to swap to a Weber if she doesn't have to.
When cold, it's idling fast (over 2000 rpm), and over-runs when switched off after a short journey. The choke comes off as it should, and the rpm drops to 800ish, but the car is a bit 'lumpy'.
I was told that it maybe the coolant temperature sender at fault, as I've changed the waxstat and sprayed around the carb to check for holes/breaks. There seems to be a lot of oil or fuel in the air filter, but I'm unsure if this is a factor.
Does anyone have a photo of where the coolant temperature sender is, as I'm having trouble locating it.
Thanx
