Fd Stalling Issues
#15
Another thing I discovered over the weekend while messing with the car, my dashpot is about 50% worn out.. it is very similar to the clutch switch with a plunger/spring setup. Well the plunger piece only returns about halfway to its original position. I loosened the tightening nut and had to screw the dashpot all the way up so that it would actually engage the throttle as it closes. So I need a new dashpot as well, $100 part at the dealer for that stupid little thing. It runs fine for now and does not die now that I replaced the clutch switch, adjusted the dashpot, upped the F/C settings on the PFC, AND fine tuned my idle after the learning period for the ECU.. what a pain, but it was worth it because it runs great now. So everyone who has a problem with the car dying, check your clutch switch and dashpot.
