Low dwell problem (ECM, PROM M/C solenoid) what to do next?

<< < (3/4) > >>

jjr:

 None of my materials expand on "low reference", it is my belief that it's an attempt to
ensure a good ground. Here is a snippet from a 1981 Pontiac service manual about the
sensor.



 And I also believe that the 1981 Corvette calls for the exact same O2 sensor as the Pontiacs.

 In a non-gm chart of the system, it is shown as simply a ground...

 Well the "calibrated" signal when warm and in open loop is 10 times a second.

 I think you may have a bad wire somewhere now...

 Also, I just finished a dwell adjustment thread for the 1981 Qjet.

 Assuming the bench settings got you in the ball park, here would be how to trim
the carb...

Thanks for all the info Joe!
I'll read it tomorrow to fine tune the carb.

BTW. I found the problem and solved it!
I changed the wide band back to the heated narrowband and everything is working perfectly!
Thanks everybody for thinking with me

Greetings Peter

 Ok, here's how the general educated it's line people, maybe this
will help also...
