Auto Chok - Weird problem
Vehicle - RB30 Patrol/carby
Hey Guys,
It took me some good time to work out the reason behind the auto choke failure.
For a while now, the auto choke flaps weren't opening when the engine's warm enough, obviously costing me
extra fuel every time I drive it, as well as performance issues.
I checked the power to the socket that takes the +12V to the auto choke heater unit, and it was fine. I checked the auto choke relay prior to that, and it was fine as well.
The real culprit was as in the pictures.
It has been eluding me for a while.
I wonder how many dodgy wires/connectors in the old wiring of the vehicle are like that, giving me all sort of trouble.
I gota similar problem with the Fuel Pump Control Unit which appears to be working only intermittently. I'm guessing it's a similar kinda issue.
