As promised, I ordered and installed a Bosch four wire, heated 02 Sensor. Then I calibrated my Heathkit Air Fuel Mixture monitor. Here are the AFM results from cold start by minute, first at Idle, then at Higher RPMs, then back to Idle. Overall, I could not quite believe how much more stable the eng...

L Jetronic Tuning -- Surging Idle and High RPM Lean Out

I am hoping to get some L Jetronic insight and also provide some information that may help others tuning theirs. Two issues for discussion: 1). In Closed Loop Mode (Oxygen Sensor connected) as my engine warms from Cold Start idle speed grows from 550 RPM to 800 RPM as the sensor becomes active. With...
