| Jul 8, 2014 at 2:54 | comment | added | Zaid | @MeltingDog, if by flooding you mean that the air-fuel mixture is too rich for ignition to take place then yes, that is the hypothesis. | |
| Jul 8, 2014 at 2:49 | comment | added | Zaid | @Paulster2, one needs to remember that this technology comes from an era when it was considered a step up from carburetion; the K-basic systems didn't even need lambda sensors! As electronic controllers became more commonplace, the mechanical fuel distributor gave way to an electronic equivalent (KE-Jetronic, that's what the "E" stands for). Fascinating stuff, definitely not the usual run-of-the-mill question :) | |

| Jul 7, 2014 at 23:03 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | Good answer Zaid - definitely sounds plausible. The early Bosch FI systems are a little bit of a PITB. I hope this helps the OP. | |
