Dashpot --pics and ?'s
How far should the plunger stick out of the dashpot?
Not sure if a piece might have broken off over the years, but the plunger is only about 1/8 inch. If you grab and pull it all the way out, maybe a 1/4 inch. I cleaned it and it is not sticking. Springs back out if you push it in -- but only the 1/8 inch. Doesn't appear to be any adjustments to lengthen the plunge. Guessing it is just worn out. Any insights would be appreciated. thanks http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...dashpot005.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...dashpot004.jpg |
It's bad. Get a new one. They're just short of $100 from ray @malloy

^Yep, that's just sticking out enough to JUST touch the throttle plates. It needs to be about double that sticking out.
May also want to see if you can find a good used one. That might not be all your problems, but it's sure not helping. No dashpot and the car will want to stall coming to a stop, or the idle will drop really low, the car struggles for a second, then recovers. Dale |
I've posted in the part for sale section and emailed Ray for a price as well.
Going to check locally and see if any of the throttle bodies have one attached still. Hoping THIS is the culprit. Thanks |
Same dashpot was used on some 2nd gen cars as well. That's where I got my used replacement from, locally.

Thanks

Have a dashpot coming from Fritz.
Now I'm wondering if it might be the TPS???? stalling, backfiring, not holding an idle for more than 5 min. Going to test the TPS tomorrow. |
