I realize that the hotwire air mass meter is physically different from the electromechanical L-Jet meter, but the principle is the same. At low air flow rates, the air mass meter isn't accurate for...

I think the only reason the air mass meters have adjustment screws is because they are not all that accurate at low air flow rates - like at idle. So the screw is for the idle mix, but anything off...

The usual suspects for rich running like this are dripping/leaking injector(s), and failed fuel pressure regulator/dampers. Or a broken/unhooked vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator.

The single pipe exhaust and cat will also make the footwells and transmission tunnel hotter than hell, and adds heat load to the cooling system. I noticed this after 20 minutes or so on the highway....

If the power is falling off around 4K, it's probably your exhaust. My '85 Euro did the same thing with the single-pipe/cat '84 system it came with. A quick fix is to use a complete '85-'86 twin pipe...

The assumption I am making is that the output of the air flow meter and air mass meter are both the same shape when graphed.

I might screw around with installing an air mass meter in my S2 engined 944 this summer, actually. I have a couple spare 928S4 air mass meters around, which it turns out are probably perfectly fine....

I replaced both my strut mounts with the hotsy-totsy and pricey 968 mounts and the passenger side has a tiny bit of play when the car is off the ground and the suspension is drooping. But when the...

Did you twist the steering rack in its mounts while replacing the tie rods and now the u-joints in the steering shaft are binding?

New tie rods should NOT cause this.

That's the VIN for a 1984 European 928S with the dual-distributor/LH-jet 310 hp engine. Nice cars.

How does the car feel subjectively? Response, driveability, seat-of-the-pants stuff?

Question Who is running aluminum torque tubes?

I'm wondering what folks' experience has been with the aluminum torque tubes so far? How many miles do you have on them, had any issues, notice any benefits, or any drawbacks?

Thanks,
