smoorenc Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I have a 78 280Z manual. The Anti Stall Dash pot is not working correctly. It takes too much pressure to have it retract all the way back and leaves my RPM's at 2K. I don't believe it is my return spring, after taking it off, it is sticky in my hand too. Also throttle snaps right back with out Dash Pot in. I took the anit-stall dash pot out and sprayed cleaner in it but no help. This has been sitting since '97 so I assume it froze up some over the years. I have searched and can't find if they can be repaired or can I take it apart and just get the "diaphram/plunger" part? I see Dash Pots for all kinds of cars out on the parts sites. Has anyone frankenstien'd one of these? I took it off but it would be nice if it was working.

Tony D Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If you set your curb idle to 800, likely it won't have a stall issue. Really it was for reduction of HC Emissions, the car shouldn't stall without it if the engine is in proper tune and you have a stock flywheel... Even 25-50 rpms increase in curb idle takes care of them in poor tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
