Re: IML: re: 83 EFI



 
I would echo the comment regarding the air cleaner cover seal.  I bought a new element and installed it and the car would not idle at all.  It would keep running if I held the accelerator pedal down to keep it at a fast idle.  I returned the air cleaner element and got another of a different brand and it did the same thing.  I finally put about an 1/8" rubber spacer between the cover and the cover gasket and it worked fine.  Apparently this gasket takes a set after a number of years and these cars need a tight air cleaner seal.  Just having the large clamp around the entire periphery is not enough.
