3L LX Digital Electronic Ignition 1995 OF367647
When i First turned key there used to be a sound. I guessed it was fuel priming? maybe auto choke?
I stupidly grounded the centre cable that goes to the distributor to the engine when compression testing now no sound.
And automatic choke doesnt work (if I have one one)
=============================================
1. What might I have killed with the resulting big spark?
2. What was the key turn sound at the engine originally?
3. How can I tell if I have an automatic choke? Purple and black wires going to carb area?
4. Is carb supposed to be almost completely closed on cold start?
=============================================
- Engine starts and runs with throttle pumping, doesn't idle cold very well (choke only closes a bit on cold start)
Runs fine high speed,
* I need to turn off the engine and restart after running it to make engine idle properly or go at slow speed or stalls out
