Re: [DML] Air Metering Unit

It is extremely unlikely that your mixture setting (CO) at the air metering unit (mixture control unit) has suddenly gone out of tolerance. From your description it sound like you have a problem in the idle speed circuit. Do not attempt to adjust the CO mixture. The hollow plug you are referring to is the CO adjust access hole. This hole should be closed. If the access hole has been unplugged for some time and the car was running OK previously leave the hole as is.

Subject: [DML] Air Metering Unit


I've got a question about the air metering unit. I haven't been able to get my car started
at all this week so I went out fooling around with it this morning. Heres what I found. It 
wouldn't start again so I took off the air filter cover and pushed down on the air metering 
unit and then tried to start it. It started right up but wouldn't keep itself running unless I 
gave it gas. As long as I gave it gas it would run but as soon as I took my foot off the gas
it would die about 2 seconds later. I'm guessing that the air metering unit controls the fuel/
air mixture. Anyone know what's going on and what I might take a look at to fix it's problem?
