Great, it looks like we have nailed down the problem {and cheap too}. |

Drove to a small car show today. Total 27 miles round trip. It never reved up, and I had correct coolant temp. One problem, The hose was coming off the tube. I guess the duck tape was not strong enough to hold. I'm going to cap both ends this week. The end on the T and On the chrome thing.
Thanks for all your help.
You may get a few inquirers about you belts systems. A couple of guys on the Ferrarilist sounded real interested when i pointed them your way. |

Edward,
To make sure I got the right hose. I took the hose off the pipe at the T. I put a piece of DUCK tape over the pipe and put the hose back on and tighten up the clamp.
I got a small car show to go to tommorrow. It's only 15 miles from home. If it doen't idle up going up there and back, I'll know I got it. I will then put in a plug.
But, you were right, off the elbow under the cold start fuel injectort is a T. If you are looking from the back of the motor, to the left of the T goes to an vacum valve that is plug up electrically. To the right the hoses goes down to a shiney almost chrome valve.
I put the tape on the hose between the T and the chrome valve.
The car started and warmed up nicely with no reving. Of course I only ran the motor for about 5-10 minutes. Let me know if I did it right.
Thanks |

You probably have a problem with the fast idle valve. It is the one with a vacuum hose running to it with an arm that you can see move when vacuum is applied to it. It looks like a heater control valve and is beside the cold start injector. I believe it should have vacuum applied to close it off and to idle down. |

Ever since I took the intake plenum off to replace the coolant hoses I have had this problem. Last week during the Madewood Concourse, in the parade on Bourbon Street the car is idling at 2,800 RPM. I could rev to 6,000 RPM and it would idle down.
At first I thought I had a bad throttle cable until this evening. Before it was warmed up, we are going down a neighbor street. My foot is off the throttle, we are rolling out of gear at about 30 MPH. You could tell the car was just getting warm went out of the blue the car just revs up to 2,800 RPM.
I turn around and go home, we are still at 2,800. I take all the tension out of the cable till it is slack and no difference.
I believe something in the cold start systems is turning off the vacuum letting air into the plenum, hence 2,800 RPM. I can do a 30K but have no idea what I'm dong around the cold start Bosch stuff. Any Opinion and help would be appreciated.
I have checked ALL hoses for vacuum leaks including trying to squeezing them off to see which one would be letting in the air to the plenum. Off course some are to big to do this.
Additional INFO:
My cold start sensor on my expansion tank is looped out. Bought the car that way.
Cold Start fuel injector is disconnected. Even after I put in a new thermal time switch, if the car is warm, you can not start the car for one hour after you turn it off..
The car just score 91.5 point at Madewood. |
