I need to adjust the fuel/air mixture as my car is running a bit leane, it's got a 4g67 fitted. There seems to be something on the bulk head with arrows on and a R and a L, I presume that's it but there's nothing to turn in the middle just a round lump. Can somebody please help?? |

To do it properly, you would need some sort of piggyback fuel controller that would allow you to richen and lean the mixture, and use that in conjunction with a wideband 02 sensor do you know you're doing it right. There is an adjustment screw on the bottom of the mass-air sensor that you can play around with, but usually people do that to make their cars run even more lean, same with removing honeycombs from the MAF, that just leans you out more. There is no screw or any other device that allows you to adjust the air/fuel mixture on a fuel-injected car. |

I was unsure if the colt had one as I know there is a few efi cars with a electronic remote adjustment screw. The main reson im asking is the car had a emotions test the weekend and it's come back very low which means it's running lean, anybody got any ideals why this could be as I'm bound to be loosing power. Also what this if not a mixture adjustment,

I'm wondering if some how it's some sort of adjustment as uk emmition laws are probably stricter that those in the US?It also has a half moon shape arrow on it and a "R" one end and a "L" the other end, it can't be left and right as there back to front, my guess was "rich" and "lean"? |

Yes, R would mean rich and L would mean lean. |

It would be nice to know which pins those go to on the board. Well, that is one cool looking switch/pot/resistor type thing. Almost looks like the color of the wires for the thermostat, but there are so many similar wires on top of the motor. |
