Tried to get a clip of the way it hesitates and shakes when I try to accel fast: out.mov
-
I take it back, the choke does close just fine. I watched it gradually open up as it warmed up here.
-
-
I think its more likely now that the choke isnt closing/turning on. My main gripe is how rough it runs when I first start it up, and it doesnt even get that cold here. I can see a solid 12.4V on the blue wire to the heater, so my relay seems okay. However, the little door (red arrow), which I think is the choke, hasnt moved at all since I fired it up and let it run for 5 min this morning. This is with the needle all the way down on C. Is the crappy spring (blue arrow) supposed to close it?
-
I pulled the cover off the air filter so I can see in. The choke valve is open after running it for a bit, I'm letting it cool down now to make sure it actually closes all the way.
-
Sometimes it will drift back up. It will also hesitate and sputter for a split second if I jam on the accel quickly.
-
It seems like the autochoke/fast idle does work, when cold it keeps the RPMs around 1.2k, until I tap the gas and then it will settle back down to around 7-800. It isn't always consistent about this.
-
I'm pretty sure its been running like this, stinks like gas when starting up. I know there are some threads to diagnose this written up around here, and I have the next week off work so I have time to work on it. The last two times I had to smog it, I was paying extra for the 'guaranteed pass' tests. But I'd really rather just have it work correctly.

Do you mean this one? https://www.yotashop.com/weber-carburetor-toyota-pickup-truck-4wd-2-4l-22r-1981-1984-weber-carburetor-kit-32-36-dgev-electric-choke-california-legal-k8749/ Whats better about the Webers over the stock (Hitachi?) Yep

This one is the MSD Atomic, I have not seen any others that are CARB compliant. Guess im just SOL on the EFI, gonna stick with the carburetor
-
Yeah, I'm just gonna return it.
-
I can still return it. The more I'm looking into it, I dont think this will work. I'm seems like learning to tune the carburetor will take as much work as installing this thing and I dont have to go drilling holes in the exhaust etc. I have not heard of anyone using this successfully either. They leave this out on the website, but in the manual it turns out these are only compliant on GM V8s 😕 Not sure if the smog techs would know this but still. The truck runs as good as it did last time I had it smogged.

This is the only one I have seen that is CA CARB-compliant. What issues do you think I would have with the 4bbl to 2bbl adapter?
