It is cold out now and the car would not have a fast idle when first started. So, Haynes book I go, review leads my to check the Auxiliary Air regulator -pg 85. I took it off the car and took it apart. The bi-metallic strip works fine, ohms are a little high - 48 not 30 like the book calls for. I could not get the shutter to close as the little arm on it was broke, so I took it apart, made my own shutter. Put it all together and the car now had a fast idle - too fast ended up around 2000RPM, found this out on my way to work. So on the way home the car seems to be running rich - too much gas - started to chug a big. Get home and smells like a lot of gas. Took valve apart put old pcs back in still same problem. So it seems like the car is loading up on gas, I make minor adjustments to the air sensor unit but still the car is loading up with gas - test drive it has no power and back fires. Suggestions?

Sounds like you are having the same problem we are having with our 78, best to get another A.A.V., Good Luck

the AAV isnt going to cause a too rich condition, I would recommend that something else has changed, you can however run the car w/o a AAV, just remove it and plug the 2 lines that would run into it.
