Thanx for replies fellas x
gengis: confirms what I thought, may proceed with disconnect for minute bhp increase? (one less heat source
heating up induction temp???)
millieman: I will leave it there then! ( what is that little vacuum takeoff for then? its aperture sits under the
throttle butterfly valves seat when its closed ie, at idle? would it not be a more sensitive/accurate control
point for vacuum dependant devices?? (digiplex and FPR).
MattNoVAT: Iirc on the 'ie' well on mine anyway fitted with Bosch L-jetronic the 'coolant temp' is read by a sensor positioned
on the metal 'over head' coolant pipe right on its bend over No4 cylinder along side another sensor or thermo time switch? both of these are
wired into the L-jetronics ECU? There may have been some type of 'thermostatic device' fitted to the TB's collant connections when fitted on the HPE
to warm up the throtte butterfly when outside temps could lead to icing up of the TB but all such complicating plumbing was 'binned' when I
dropped the lump in the Hawk
.
Thanx again for the time taken to reply to my question? hope youre all out enjoyin the rays in ya 'Italian marques'?
kev b.
