AMC 150 too rich
I have a question concerning an '84 CJ with the AMC 150 4 cyl engine and one
of those terrible Carter carburetors with a Nutter bypass performed. Keep in mind with this question that the catalytic converter needs to be replaced and another one is on order. Here's the present trouble: The stepper motor, which I believe controls the amount of fuel, has been disconnected as part of the bypass. The gas to air ratio is too rich and there is really no way to adjust it, or so I'm told. I'm not sure how much the catalytic converter has to do with this but, how can the fuel mixture be adjusted with the bypass in place? Thanks, Chip |
Re: AMC 150 too rich
did u make sure the stepper motor was in the right position before turning
it off? i never did the nutter bypass in mine before i took it off but i remember you had to have the motor in a certain position before cutting the wire. is your 02 sensor alive?

Re: AMC 150 too rich
The computer was not functioning so the stepper motor was inoperable (or at
least was not being run by the bad computer) Before the bypass was complete, my father started the motor, it ran terrible until he uplugged the stepper motor, then it ran smooth. How can you tell where the stepper motor should be and how do you get it there if it is in the wrong place, which it obviously is because of the amount of gas running through it. Short of solving this carb trouble, what kind of pre-83 carb will fit the 150 engine?

Re: AMC 150 too rich
The stepper motor controls the air bypass only on the Carter BBD carb.
This means full rich is pins all the way in. I highly doubt you have a Carter BBD on a 4 banger though.... You should check to see what it is. They all are manually tuneable with 'hidden' mix screrws the same as the non electronic ones, but it is hard to point you the right direction not being sure of the carb...
