It all started back here https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=55123" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and I'd repeatedly thought it was fixed only to find out it wasn't...
The pirennial p###ing problem is one of an excessive idle speed of 900-1000 rpm and it smells too rich (stinky).
Having unwrapped some of the loom, I discovered the black pair of 2-pin connectors (diagnostic?) were plugged together


I hate this thing. It's a great engine, goes really well and sounds fantastic with RJES exhaust but these problems caused by the original conversion (not by me or RJES btw) are making me want to rip the whole thing out and start again...
No-one wants to touch it as the conversion is a very early one, the wiring is of questionable quality and the donor vehicle unknown.
I've even thought of ditching the Subaru engine management completely and retro-fitting a hybrid WBX/16v VW loom and ecu with a re-map to get it running properly with parts I can recognise and service. It might be the only way out.
Anyone got any thoughts as I am really running out of enthusiasm for what is otherwise a beautiful bus...
