I pulled a complete throttle body with fuel distributor from the junkyard
« on: February 11, 2009, 06:13:28 PM »
I did that yesterday and it has an EHA and the side rotary switch.  What would be a good project with this assembly?
I noticed that the plate when pushed it stays down a little unlike the one in my car, so I am guessing I will have to remove the rubber cover, which needs to be replaced anyway since it has some cracks, to inspect the plate mechanism.
What about the fuel distributor?  Can I open it and replace or clean any parts in there?

LOL, you're sounding like my wife, I guess she's tiered of driving me to the emergency room every time I have a project.  I mean, what's the worst that can happen here?  A whiff of residual gasoline?  A spring in the eye?  A finger stuck in a fuel outlet?
GS, do you sell kits to rebuild those bad boys?

Fuel head?  Picture?
Hey I just got back from the junkyard 10 minutes ago and I scored another fuel distributor with EHA and fuel pressure valve for a 560SEL.  These looked fairly new so I hope they will be good insurance in case mine should fail or needs a rebuild.

What I want are the rubber bits inside.

How are you going to calibrate it? When a Ferrari dealer went through one 4 times, and a simpler one than you have, they gave up and sent it to me.

What's to calibrate?  Isn't the EHA supposed to make it happen?
Maybe I need to look at a picture of the inside of one of those bad boys to comprehend this stuff.

To calibrate it you must match the flow of ports 1 thru 4 to flow the same at any given setting, to get technical, the pressure drop across the metering slits must be the same on all cyls. A .0001" problem is enough to cause problems, they are very sensitive.
