Re: carter stepper motor / computer question
I have gone 4+ years with no stepper and it seems to run ok. But that could
explain why occasionally when I first start up the Jeep it will run super
rich until I turn it off, and restart. I bet the computer is messing with
the advance. I will have to take care of that issue soon. Thanks Mike.

Re: carter stepper motor / computer question
The stepper controls mixture as commanded by the MCU. If your stepper
is disconnected, the MCU can't make it rich.
Are you sure it's rich, and does it happen when started hot or cold?

Re: carter stepper motor / computer question
Always when started cold. It is very rich during that time. It seems to
run fine at low RPM, but by the time I get down the street and am still in
first gear it will hardly run. As long as the RPM's are below 2000ish it is
ok. If I turn it off, and back on problem is fixed.. This happens more in
the winter than in the summer, I was trying to blame it on a stuck carb.
Anyways I will nutter it and put on a MC2100 and see if the problem goes
away.

run fine at low RPM, but by the time I get down the street and am still in
first gear it will hardly run. As long as the RPM's are below 2000ish it is
ok. If I turn it off, and back on problem is fixed.. This happens more in
the winter than in the summer, I was trying to blame it on a stuck carb.
Anyways I will nutter it and put on a MC2100 and see if the problem goes
away.

Re: carter stepper motor / computer question
Always when started cold. It is very rich during that time. It seems to
run fine at low RPM, but by the time I get down the street and am still in
first gear it will hardly run. As long as the RPM's are below 2000ish it is
ok. If I turn it off, and back on problem is fixed.. This happens more in
the winter than in the summer, I was trying to blame it on a stuck carb.
Anyways I will nutter it and put on a MC2100 and see if the problem goes
away.
