Yes, it will make a difference. You will get fresh air into the exhaust mixture. This air will cause the O2 sensor to indicate to the ECU that the engine is running lean, and it will signal the fuel injectors to remain open longer. This mean more fuel injected into the cylinders, and a faster idle. IMHO.

This is driving me crazy!!! My 85 will not idol below 1300 rpm's. The idol stop screw is all the way bottomed out and I have checked the timing repeatedly. There is one thing that might be messing with me. There is a hole in my muffler before the oxygen sensor. Would that make a difference?? Thanks in advance Mark 85 Westi (1 week old) |
