A KV problem.

Switch without a doubt. Way more sophisticated KE-jetronics made use of pair of switches, so no doubt for this primitive setup. In any case it's not that hard to touch around throttle to look for connectors, since any connectors would be attached to throttle body anyway.

So I should hear a click when the throttle is opened ?

Whats missing here?? Bracket to the left of the dipstick has had something fitted to it....but not now?



I remember reading somewhere about "cooling pipes to injectors"?....or am I perhaps getting confused with the turbo'd 10 valve engines
Also what would cause the engine to cut out whilst sitting in traffic? .... After cutting out it would turn over and fire but barely reach idle speed before dying again......could hear the fuel pump prime when turning ign to on but the way it fired then imediately cut again was really like insufficient fuel pressure. I then left the car to cool down for a few hours, then started no problem and drove 30 miles home.

Firstly the throttle switch, yes you should be able to hear it click, not sure this does anything regards the Valve on the airbox though, but it will effect tickover. Seem to have mislaid my drawings so not much more I can say at tye moment.
That bracket is for the injectors cooling motor. Not critical in this country most of the time and series 2's never had one.

Thanks Dave. I'll need to get the throttle body off and check the switch operation....a wee adjustment would be nice but I suspect it'll need replaced. Will try and get a mirror down there before I go stripping stuff off.
The injector cooling motor will explain the 2-pin plug doing nothing down there as well.
