Ok, well I have a small problem. Whenever the car is passed 3000 rpm or so, and I let it drop to idle, it just dies.

I have perfect idol at 800 rpm or so. Everything is fine...I have a cusco clutch and flywheel, which I think doesn't help...So I have heard of the dashpot. Could that be it? What does it look like? And if thats the problem, what failed on it? Is it easier to just put another TB on there? Anybody got a dashpot for sale or pointers on how to fix this problem? I searched but the seach function doesn't seem to know what a dashpot is...and so do I....


Thanks!

 

Nevermind, seems that google is a better search engine for this site then the domestic search its self. I found my answer.

Everything is normal now. I adjusted the dashpot to the maximum, it was the only way the car would stay alive after an rpm drop. Must be because of the light weight flywheel...no?

 

When my car would die after letting the RPM's drop off it was because the idle AFR was way too lean. I've got ALL of the extra equipment removed including the BAC, dashpot, thermowax, everything and my idle is perfect at 800 RPM's and when I let the RPM's drop the car idles down to about 600 RPM, then bumps immediately back up to 800. I think that the AFR at idle has much more to do with how smooth it is. When it was lean, the car would bounce and not hold idle worth ****. Now with it at a ~14.1 reading, the idle is perfect.
