  • Adjusting the Co on throttle body 2.0EFi engine

    Can anyone say with certainty in which direction (clockwise - anticlockwise) you need to turn screw on throttle body to adjust the Co ?
    To increase the Co is it clockwise or anti ?
    thanks
    Chris

    Back from my hols now. To lower the fuel ratio it's anti clockwise, to increase its clockwise. So if running rich you screw anti clockwise

      Here's what I have, a low Co but running rich, we've tried turning the screw to increase the Co to it's required 2 - 2.5% but couldn't get above 1.5% (according to the AR manual need to do this before tune-up and setting idle speed). Of course then it's running even richer so we turned it back to approx. 1.00% as you see Lambda value at about 0.9. Any advice ?
      Regards

        I'm guessing you have ruled out any other part of the fuel management part of the system.? Air flow meter, coolant sensor , all injectors are clear etc. and have followed Gary's advise of setting the mixture and idle?

          New coolant sensor (better reading on the dashboard), new fuel ECU, new idle valve, will take a look at air filter to see if anything miss there but not air flow meter. My throttle body is MZW 1017 those don't have the mixture screw it's blanked off. I need a temporary fix until next week should I reduce the Co to reduce the rich running ? Thanks

            You can only give it a go Chris. Try turning it the other way and see what that does.

              It's not driving any worse needs to do a 500km journey this weekend, will start looking seriously at what could be wrong (making a long list I suspect) and letting a Bosch electronic garage take a look. My guess is that there's a blockage/leak/broken seal/gasket etc because outside of this engine runs fine. Made some headway on the potentiometer, change the Philips screws with hex nuts as we couldn't tighten the screws enough and it stays a magnificent 325mv constantly now .

              Thanks for you input & advice
