My ? is if it is causing the enrichment at al times. Read your plugs. Do a fuel pressure test.

I have all the rest of the Cali specific bits, coil, electronic ignition, AFM, o2 sensor, CAT, etc.
what has me stumped is that the Cali wiring harness is unique, so if it was eliminated at some point, why would it have the wiring for it? |

the bus is a California model 79
I am doing a bunch of random testing trying to hunt down why im getting barely 11 MPG and in doing so, I tested the 'microswitch'
this thing:
it failed the Bentley test, which is when I then read on and noted the following:
If this was eliminated from 1977 models onward, why do I have one?
Did they leave it there and it just doesn't do anything?
Or did the PO hack it in during a previous rebuild and it just shouldn't be there?
Im not sure if I should bother testing it further or replacing it, if it's not supposed to be there in the first place. |
