is it a digi or k-jet?

digi engines have a CO allen key head adjustment screw on top of the MAF (on top the air box), winding it clockwise seems to lean out the mixture.

well it did on mine earlier...  :shocked:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Digi's can have K&N's, the maf will be the silver box thing the filter attach's to.

If the cold start mechanism goes that'll cause too rich a mixture. On a digi its the blue temp sender needs replacing, not sure which one it is on a kjet.

all u need to do is adjust ur idle screw, its the little brass coloured one which is recessed on the front of your inlet manifold. wind it anti clockwise to increase idle speed.
