Re: 81 cabby 1.7 5 speed/ bosch fuel punp (CIS)
Well I figured out my pressure problem, the shut off valve was not working properly on the test guage. I put the single hose and got 85, pulled a washer and got 70. Now I have the the number one injector spraying while the others are not. Number 1 is not supposed to spray. I swapped injectors (1 and...

Re: 81 cabby 1.7 5 speed/ bosch fuel punp (CIS)
thank you Briano, that worked and I got the proper fittings. I replaced a bosch with a bosch. see pictures. Now I need to get my pressures correct. I get 85 psi at the out put of the fuel filter (see pictures) but with valve closed in the normal test location I only get 55 lbs according to test docu...

81 cabby 1.7 5 speed/ bosch fuel punp (CIS)
I am having trouble getting 75 psi with test valve closed, new fuel filter, I purchased a bosch replacement (napa) and the output is for a banjo fitting with a special cap/nut. The pump on the car must have been an after market and it has a hose fitting. Does anyone know where to get the banjo fitti...

(45 - 50) going to replace filter, open valve to test cpr and pressure to high (40) took cpr apart found scree...

Briano
If you were to look for fittings in our area. I have 1/4 npt or just hose requiring a fitting one is 12mm 1.5 male and the other is 12mm 1.5 female with inverted flair, like would fit on top of a fuel injector.

Re: 81 cabby 1.7 5 speed
Well guys I am an old man and memory can be a causality. Early in my project I found an 82 cabby and one of the things I took was the instrument cluster from the dash. The only difference I saw were the up shift light and speedo cable was a clip on. Today I have resurrected the original and will try...

Re: 81 cabby 1.7 5 speed
Thank You will do.There is a o-ring on that screw, count the turns to back it out. Write that number down, and then go to a good hardware store and get a new o-ring.
Phil any lock on the warning buzzer after 3000 rpm.

Briano
Do you have a fuel pressure gauge rig? If yes would it be available for me to use? I will try and ring out the fuel system then tackle the timing and rich/lean settings.

Re: More questions 81 cabby 1.7 gas 5mt
A few question if I may. Have you checked your frame to battery for voltage drop? Would I measure voltage across battery (- to +) then measure negative (frame) to battery (+) (Is that what you mean?) In the CIS instructions is states that the Idle should be around 900. I was not able to get it that ...

Re: More questions 81 cabby 1.7 gas 5mt
Phil I have been using the visio drawing I found on one of the forums. I really like Briano idea because I always get a back ache when I try to mess with the fuse panel. I always get nervous when I see black tape and wire crimps, this harness has a number of areas of just bare wire with tape and bar...
