Oh BOY...! okay here it is the short ,short version ,
1.] can you I.D. an AFM without the lid i.e. on the main body of AFM ?
2.} Is there a very ,very early airbox/AFM mount ,and is the " S " hose different ?
3.}By removing the 4 screws and plastic adaptor, that holds AFM terminals ,and lightly cleaning and replacing will I have alterd any adjustments on the AFM
4.} How do I i.D. an AFM with the wrong lid ,or blank lid
5.}Any Idea what Fuel Injection Corp AFM 45976 is/will work on
6.}Will a half broke terminal #18 on my ecu 022 906 021 T affect the function/performance of my 78 Auto trans f.i. bus
7.} Is terminal #18 on female end i.e harness end normally blank ?
8.]Does anyone repair said ECU's
9.} Will you forgive me for being a " Stream of Consciousness " english language mutilator ?
10.} Will you be patient W/ me as I try to get thru my thick Skull ,the German Wizardry that I have now been forced to learn at an Old age ?
11.} Will you accept my apology for being a smart ass and trying to just have a lil fun Whilst I'm being tortured ? |

Okay , upon further investigation here is what I've found the nice lady at FuelInjection Corp had to walk WAAAY back in the file room but she told me F.I. corp. unit # 45976 cross references to bosch 0280 200 020 . that will work on my type 2 w/ the 77/78 engine .
# 18 lug on my 022 906 021T ecu appears to go to a throttle valve switch , according to the 77-79 diagrams , however I don' see a throttle valve switch on the Ge 023341 engine Is this correct ? , and will there be any ill effects if this pin is broke on my ECU ? |

018 and 020 are the same. Beyond that good luck. Have to compare to other units and part numbers inside
| Quote: |
| 2.} Is there a very ,very early airbox/AFM mount ,and is the " S " hose different ? |
2 questions. (a) no idea and (b) they are all the same on buses
| Quote: |
| 3.}By removing the 4 screws and plastic adaptor, that holds AFM terminals ,and lightly cleaning and replacing will I have alterd any adjustments on the AFM |
yes. Perhaps permanently. It is reading voltages using an X and Y plane across a board with many spots that send voltage. Unless it is in the exact same spot then the X and, or Y coordinates change so voltages change at each takeoff spot. The board measures total swing of the flap, how fast it is moving and in which direction.

not a clue, I bought a new old stock one I got so tired of rebuilt ones not working right,

No idea

| 7.} Is terminal #18 on female end i.e harness end normally blank ? |
There is a wiring diagram in Technical under FI
| Quote: |
| 8.]Does anyone repair said ECU's |
FI corp. They just resolder the board and test to see if it works. They rarely fail so find a used one in classifieds if you need one.

It is impossible to follow

Only if you read the manuals that are easily available and not try to learn by asking 10,000 questions about things easily to understand with photos in the manuals

if you are tortured it by your own hand. You bought the bus.

You need to get the part numbers off of the FI [fuel injection] parts.

I have only seen the green air box mount in buses. Maybe someone knows what the orange one is?

Look for a part number.

| It also had a " 6 pin AFM |
quote ratwell: "75 - 76 1/2 models models have a 6-pin AFM and an electro-vacuum EGR valve. Because they lack the air temp sensor, these models have an intake air preheat pipe that is part of the cross over pipe that's seen on the original exhaust setup."

NO

The 022 906 021 T is for a 1977 Federal Automatic.
On this pin out diagram for a 78, #18 is X=blank. So may not be a problem.

This diagram shows #18 going to the throttle switch.

We discussed this bus last year, it's a rediculously early 74 Cali auto FI system, first one I'd seen as well as others who've seen it all, Too bad about the loss of the mount but if you can't get parts what else do you do?

The S hose. Is one longer then the other? If so the short one could be from a Vanagon. That's all I got

TCash said No, he is incorrect on this one.
First hand I can tell you that moving the board can and does trash some units. It trashed one of mine.
There are multiple voltage and current outputs between that board and the wiper (acts as a variable ground spot. If the board is moved it changes the voltages and current at each take out that goes to a different pin on the ECU. The ECU is analyzing differences between those pins then adding fuel as needed. Change the spot the wiper rides and one changes the amount of fuel that is added. Sometimes it doesn't affect much, other times like mine it trashes the unit. That is why I said perhaps permanently.

I missed that you removed the board. So yes that could change the setting.

I do the same sometimes, especially on 200 word 5 paragraph questions.
Questions here are usually technical in nature and it works better to break them down into small bites (no pun intended as to bytes)

| TCash thanks for the help , I can see that you are more tolerant with the " Why Daddy " questions , I do understand it is hard to follow " 5 paragraph ' questions " I was just trying to explain in detail . I am having a hard time as well with reading some of the replies with all the chopped up quotes etc , but I wont resort to 1 upmanship ad hominem comments , just appreciate those who posses patience alot more . I didnt see anywhere in my first two original posts , the " 5 paragraph post " or the " to the kill " numerical post where I said I removed the board , ...I did NOT remove the board , just the 4 screws holding the plastic male terminal housing that accepts the AFM wire harness connection , I did this to clean the terminals , the so called potentiometer ? was not touched , therefore I believe youre first reply of " NO " is correct .Also thank you for adressing my other questions w/out a condescending tone , you were very kind and helpful , as were others , Contrary to what some may percieve of my Stupid questions , I have researched the heck out of this ... and also ," My Own Hand " didnt offend me , as I didnt BUY the bus , one could easily see that , If they comprehended my " 5 paragraph " post . I am doing this for my Sister , for free, .As I said before , this is an odd setup , and I have learned alot , even asking stupid questions , perhaps now some Others may become even more Illuminated than they already percieve , and pass it on , thats what good teachers do , bad teachers ...well they bark alot I guess ? thanks to ALL BG |

bite the hand that feeds because your expectations aren't met? That is a smart response. If you took 10 minutes to search and read you would have found most of your answers. I was generous taking time out of my day to answer your questions. You also lack a sense of humor. Good day.

you hang around here and you'll have no patience for why daddy questions when they've already been answered in other threads 150,000 times.

VeeDubb,
No need to defend yourself. Just roll with it. When you read enough post and get a feel for these guys responses you'll understand. Steve can dish out some tough love but he's Johnny on the spot to help out whoever needs help. He and Wildthings go at it all the time but those two have so much knowledge and history they understand and have earned each other's respect. I've seen to many new guys get bent out of shape and burn bridges going toe to toe with guys that have 40 years of knowledge. What happens is the other gurus on The Samba see defensive responses and back away. And good on you apologizing, that goes along way. Good luck with the project.

GEO23341 eng w/7 pin afm . As I said I will order a new harness and mount the aotomatic 022 906 021 T ecu and try to move on . We had it running /driving w/the 6 pin afm but ,I want to make it right .It also had the first generation Auto trans with missing linkage ,boy that was another nightmare ,I got it squared away .This thing kinda ate my lunch ,but Im steadily learning ... |

I am a strong believer in helping people, mentoring people. Just as others helped me along the way. Being a good mentor also requires having a student willing to do his/her homework. One just can't ask for answers when it is test time. I am sure you didn't teach your 3 children to only ask for the answers to the test questions. You wouldn't expect a surgeon to make a post on a forum, "Ok I am cutting this guy open, what happens if I cut this artery? and if I do can I sew it back together later?"
For example did you:
Read the owner's manual? - it is available for free on this forum
Read the factory service manual? It can be found online for free or go to Amazon
Read the FI manual? It is available for free on this forum
Done a search for the items you are trying to lean about? Search is free
Then ask educated questions.
BTW - if you haven't been forewarned, watch out for the 9 ft lb oil strainer bolt. Go tighter and it will in an instant ruin the engine.

| Steve ,Well No I'm non compliant on some of those points ,I have been doing alot of searching on specifics however . I'm not much of a booksmart kinda guy , I guess I'm kinda like your basic uneducated Lugg, I barely finished High School ,but I'm okay with that ,reading comprehension never was my forte ,but I do the best I can ,problem with me is I'm scatterbrained sometimes .I am currently working on Mercedes 300SD's ,Honda trail 90's , 1970 GTO's Volvo 740 turbo's etc etc etc . But Oh well ,and thanks for the oil strainer heads up ... and TCASH here ya go ...,,,,, |
