00:00:04
This is a 3.8 L V8 engine with Bosch K
00:00:09
Jetronic fuel injection.
00:00:12
And there's two things you can look at
00:00:14
and spot this very quickly, whether or
00:00:16
not your engine has Kjetronic. Number
00:00:19
one, it has hard lines going to the fuel
00:00:23
injectors, not wires, but metal hard
00:00:26
lines going to each fuel injector. And
00:00:29
number two, it has a unit right over
00:00:31
here that looks like this.
00:00:34
And this is called the warm-up
00:00:36
regulator. Now, if you heard that term,
00:00:39
you would think, uh, well, that's like a
00:00:41
choke. It's just going to choke the
00:00:43
engine and give it extra gas until the
00:00:46
engine starts. Well, if that were true,
00:00:49
this thing wouldn't be such a big
00:00:51
problem as it's become today because of
00:00:54
its age. It's quite complex inside. The
00:00:57
first thing I want to point out is
00:01:00
related to these two fuel connections
00:01:02
here. If you see these, you're going to
00:01:04
think, well, that's fuel in, this fuel
00:01:06
out. Then fuel is going to fill the
00:01:09
entire body. But that's not the case.
00:01:12
The reason is fuel is isolated in this
00:01:16
little cylinder here. This is called a
00:01:19
fuel cell
00:01:21
and it looks like this. This is your
00:01:24
fuel cell. So fuel comes in here. You
00:01:27
can see there's a filter screen down in
00:01:29
there and it exits out here. On the
00:01:32
bottom side here is a
00:01:36
real thin steel diaphragm that moves up
00:01:40
and down. When it moves up, considering
00:01:43
how this is positioned on the car, it
00:01:46
closes off the passage between these
00:01:49
two. When the diaphragm moves down, it
00:01:52
opens up the passage between these two
00:01:55
fittings. I'm sure the next question is,
00:01:57
well, what controls this pin moving up
00:02:00
and down?
00:02:02
And it has a spring has two springs and
00:02:05
then this little
00:02:07
cover and a little hat in there that
00:02:09
holds the pin. So, it's a combination of
00:02:13
spring pressure and a few things that
00:02:16
counterbalance the spring pressure that
00:02:18
moves the pin up and down. The first
00:02:19
thing is this heating unit that sits
00:02:22
inside here.
00:02:25
And when the engine's cold,
00:02:29
this is down. So, it's pushing down on
00:02:32
that washer and pushing the pin down.
00:02:35
When the engine heats up, this moves up
00:02:38
and the spring pressure allows the pin
00:02:40
to come up, closing off the diaphragm,
00:02:43
which increases fuel backflow pressure
00:02:46
to the metering head. That's one of the
00:02:48
most important things inside this unit
00:02:50
is this heating element. The other thing
00:02:52
is on a number they have a diaphragm
00:02:56
located in the bottom unit. There's a
00:02:58
diaphragm in here and that diaphragm
00:03:02
moves this little plunger up and down.
00:03:04
The springs
00:03:06
sit like that.
00:03:08
So simply put, there's something else
00:03:11
that controls this raising and lowering
00:03:15
and that's vacuum right here. What this
00:03:17
does is it enriches the mixture during
00:03:20
full throttle operation because when you
00:03:23
get full throttle, you get zero vacuum
00:03:26
and that'll change the diaphragm and
00:03:28
it'll change the position of this pin
00:03:31
which affects fuel pressure. So in
00:03:33
conclusion,
00:03:35
everything located inside this unit is
00:03:38
for the purpose of either increasing or
00:03:41
decreasing fuel pressure to the metering
00:03:44
head of the fuel distributor.
00:03:47
If you can understand this, you can
00:03:49
understand how the Kjet system works.
00:03:53
Well, Kent, what's this here? That's not
00:03:55
a warm-up regulator. Why doesn't your
00:03:57
engine have one of these? Well, I
00:03:59
changed it. This is an electronic were
00:04:02
electronic warm-up regulator that's been
00:04:04
developed by a company and it works
00:04:06
amazing. It eliminates some of the
00:04:09
problems that you have with these old
00:04:10
ones. I put this on this 380SL and it's
00:04:15
absolutely amazing. This thing starts
00:04:17
with just a turn of the key, runs down,
00:04:20
idles perfectly, accelerates good.
00:04:24
Let me start this engine and
00:04:26
demonstrate.
00:04:41
Notice how smoothly it runs.
00:04:46
It's cold. It'll idle down here in a
00:04:49
minute. But if you look right here,
00:04:55
you can see something going on.
00:04:59
Something is pulsating
00:05:02
in that electronic
00:05:04
were right down there. See it?
00:05:08
When I saw that and I realized how well
00:05:11
this engine runs, I decided I'm going to
00:05:14
call this the pacemaker.
00:05:18
That has to be an appropriate name for
00:05:20
this. The pacemaker. Over here, the fuel
00:05:24
distributor is a heart.
00:05:26
And this here is what makes it beat.
00:05:32
I don't sell this, but you'll find a
00:05:34
link in the description below this video
00:05:37
that will take you to the company that
00:05:39
makes the electronic worse. Most of you
00:05:41
will have this one. This actually
00:05:44
controls the mixture of the fuel being
00:05:47
delivered through this unit here. And if
00:05:49
you know anything about gasoline
00:05:51
engines, you have to have a certain
00:05:54
ratio, fuel to air, or the engine won't
00:05:57
start. It may not even fire. The fuel
00:06:00
air ratio could be so far off because a
00:06:03
failure inside this warm-up regulator
00:06:05
that the engine's not going to start. Do
00:06:07
you remember when your grade school
00:06:08
teacher used to say, "Hey, put on your
00:06:10
thinking cap." Well, let's do that now
00:06:13
because we have to think. I have the
00:06:15
pressure gauge hooked up the normal way
00:06:17
it's supposed to be hooked up. This
00:06:19
section here goes down to the control
00:06:22
pressure compensator. And of course,
00:06:24
this hose comes off the metering head
00:06:26
into this valve. And I'm thinking, you
00:06:28
know, maybe I could send this back to
00:06:31
the fuel tank and use this valve as the
00:06:34
regulator or compensator. But I thought,
00:06:37
no, I don't need to send it back to the
00:06:39
tank. Maybe I can put it in a bottle.
00:06:42
So, I bled off the pressure here. We're
00:06:44
going to take this fitting off.
00:06:48
And this fitting is not under pressure.
00:06:50
It's just a return line to the tank. But
00:06:53
to keep it clean and to stop any fumes
00:06:56
from backing up in to that line, I'll
00:06:59
plug this off. Then I'm going to take
00:07:01
this line here.
00:07:03
I'll put this weight on it just to keep
00:07:05
it inside the bottle. And now we're
00:07:07
going to put this in the bottle. This is
00:07:10
our fuel tank. Okay. So, return fuel to
00:07:13
the tank. And we'll put that in there
00:07:16
like that. You can see now what's
00:07:17
happening is it's coming off the
00:07:20
metering head
00:07:22
and going to the valve and then going
00:07:25
straight into this bottle. So, this is
00:07:27
going to prove to you that it's a
00:07:29
compensator. It's a bleedoff valve.
00:07:32
And when it closes down, it sends back
00:07:35
pressure back to the metering head,
00:07:37
which affects the height of the metering
00:07:39
pin. And of course that affects the fuel
00:07:41
air ratio or the mixture. Okay.
00:07:45
So now I've got my jumper on
00:07:48
the
00:07:50
fuel pump.
00:07:52
All right. I'm going to turn the fuel
00:07:54
pump on. The valve is closed.
00:07:58
There goes the pump. Look at that.
00:08:02
Coming right up to 5.2 on system
00:08:04
pressure. There's no fuel flow.
00:08:07
Everything is pressurizing in the head.
00:08:09
Now, if if I had a problem here, I had a
00:08:11
problem with the fuel pump, you know, I
00:08:13
wouldn't be getting five bar here. Now,
00:08:15
watch what happens when I start to open
00:08:18
the valve.
00:08:22
See it drop?
00:08:24
And it'll literally drop to zero because
00:08:26
now, if you look over here,
00:08:29
all the fuel is going into the bottle.
00:08:32
And if I close this down, look at
00:08:33
pressure. So, I'm thinking, man, I can
00:08:36
start this engine up. I can hold the
00:08:38
pressure right there at about.7
00:08:41
bar and just maybe this engine will
00:08:43
start. If you recall earlier, I said I
00:08:46
was getting a reading of around 2.2
00:08:51
on control pressure with the engine
00:08:53
cold. So, we're going to set it there
00:08:55
and then try to start this engine.
00:09:01
Okay, we'll get the pump running.
00:09:04
All right, now I'm going to close the
00:09:08
valve down
00:09:12
until we have about
00:09:14
2.2 right there.
00:09:23
Does that sound familiar?
00:09:25
I think that happens to a lot of people
00:09:27
with these old Kjet cars that get
00:09:29
neglected. So, that's kind of the
00:09:32
symptom we were having yesterday. It
00:09:34
just it wouldn't it would kind of fire.
00:09:37
You could adjust this to your heart's
00:09:38
content and nothing would happen. Now,
00:09:41
I'm going to take and lower this down to
00:09:44
7. Okay, let's try it again.
00:09:49
Whoa, look at that.
00:09:53
That's probably the bestest run. Now
00:09:56
watch the gauge as I adjust pressures.
00:09:59
I'm going to lower pressure and listen
00:10:02
to the engine.
00:10:05
Hear that? Now it's getting too rich.
00:10:08
Now I'm going to bring them back up.
00:10:10
There's one. Now as I increase pressure,
00:10:13
the engine's going to start leaning out.
00:10:17
And I get up to about one and a half bar
00:10:19
and it quits. Okay, I'm going to come
00:10:22
back to 08. Okay, let's start it again.
00:10:30
Can you BELIEVE THAT? OKAY, I'VE GOT
00:10:32
THIS CAR FIXED. NOW I can just run along
00:10:35
side of it when we're going down the
00:10:37
road and I can adjust control pressure.
00:10:40
But I have to be careful because if I
00:10:42
give it too much pressure,
00:10:46
it's going to quit. Now, I need to
00:10:49
clarify here that we're talking about
00:10:52
cold control pressure settings. Once
00:10:55
this engine warms up, it should go up to
00:10:57
about 3 to 3.5.
00:11:00
So, if I'm going to run alongside the
00:11:02
car while the engine's warming up, I'm
00:11:04
going to have to be constantly adjusting
00:11:06
this. [laughter]
00:11:08
But, I wanted to mention that so you
00:11:10
understand when we're below one bar,
00:11:12
that's cold start pressure.
00:11:15
And then as the engine warms up, it's
00:11:18
going to change the pressure. It's going
00:11:20
to gradually start leaning out the
00:11:21
mixture as the engine warms. You need to
00:11:24
be aware of that. Take a look at over
00:11:26
here. How much is in the bottle already?
00:11:27
So, there's quite a bit of return fuel
00:11:29
that's going back to the tank when this
00:11:31
happens. Okay, let's try it one more
00:11:34
time. Usually, when you've messed around
00:11:36
with things, it may take a while to
00:11:38
clean itself out, either build pressure
00:11:39
or if you flooded it, to air it out.
00:11:41
But, let's see how it starts. Now I'm
00:11:43
right at 0.9.
00:11:48
Wow.
00:11:50
Now I'm going to have Jerson go ahead
00:11:52
and put it in gear. All right. Take it
00:11:55
out of gear.
00:11:58
Okay. Put it in gear.
00:12:03
Okay. Take it out of gear.
00:12:05
So, you can see that control pressure
00:12:08
can actually affect how this engine
00:12:11
idles under load.
00:12:14
That was pretty amazing, wasn't it? To
00:12:16
actually see that firsthand, how just a
00:12:19
slight variation in control pressure can
00:12:23
totally mess up how the engine runs. And
00:12:25
if it moves more than half a bar, it may
00:12:29
not even start or certainly won't idle
00:12:31
right. How do you know whether or not
00:12:34
this is bad?
00:12:37
That's where a fuel system pressure
00:12:40
tester comes in on these engines. I
00:12:41
think it's even more important on a
00:12:44
Kjetronic than even a Kjetronic. The
00:12:47
Kjetronic engine has some limpo mode
00:12:49
features that this engine doesn't have,
00:12:52
which will allow you to start the car
00:12:54
and to get it to run, but not so with
00:12:57
the Kjet. So, if you're having problems
00:13:01
getting your old V8 cage electronic
00:13:04
engine to start, to idle, to run right,
00:13:06
to accelerate,
00:13:08
you're going to have to do a fuel system
00:13:11
pressure test before you spend any money
00:13:13
on any parts. Just look at this. It's
00:13:16
got to be amazing for the price. You get
00:13:18
all these fittings, all these different
00:13:21
hoses. Man, what could be better than
00:13:24
that? Well, first off, for testing
00:13:27
Kjetronic,
00:13:30
you're only going to need about four of
00:13:32
these fittings, and you're only going to
00:13:33
need one of these hoses, including the
00:13:35
gauge. That's all you're going to need.
00:13:37
One of the things that I caution people
00:13:39
about when doing these fuel system
00:13:41
pressure tests is fuel. You should
00:13:45
always have a fire extinguisher handy.
00:13:47
You should do this outside because fuel
00:13:50
could be squirting out somewhere and
00:13:51
it's very dangerous. So, I can't stress
00:13:53
this enough. The problem with all these
00:13:55
that you find online is half of them
00:13:58
leak. Along with discovering a lot of
00:14:00
these testers had problems with leaks, I
00:14:03
also discovered
00:14:05
that a lot of them had gauges that
00:14:08
weren't accurate. You know, I one time I
00:14:10
just decided, hey, let's check and see
00:14:12
if these gauges are accurate. Because
00:14:14
when you talk about doing a pressure
00:14:16
test, knowing specifically how much
00:14:19
pressure should you have as full
00:14:21
pressure and control pressure, if you're
00:14:23
off three or four pounds, what good is
00:14:26
doing a fuel system pressure test? So,
00:14:28
it became obvious that manufacturers
00:14:30
weren't testing these products, weren't
00:14:31
testing these testers. They weren't
00:14:33
pressure testing them. They weren't leak
00:14:35
testing them. They weren't testing the
00:14:37
gauges. These gauges are very fragile.
00:14:40
If you bang them around, there's a real
00:14:43
fine gear mechanism back here, kind of
00:14:45
like a watch. And if they get damaged,
00:14:48
they're not going to give you an
00:14:49
accurate reading.
00:14:51
So, a couple years ago, when I set out
00:14:53
to provide my customers with a reliable,
00:14:57
tested, and accurate pressure tester, I
00:15:01
had a number of challenges I had to deal
00:15:03
with. The first thing I had to solve was
00:15:06
a problem with all the leaking fittings
00:15:09
that were showing up on these
00:15:11
commercially available testers.
00:15:14
That's a threaded fitting there,
00:15:15
threaded fitting here, threaded fitting
00:15:17
here. They were using some sort of
00:15:20
sealant or loctite during assembly, but
00:15:25
they would leak here.
00:15:27
And as soon as I would try to fix that
00:15:29
leak, they would start leaking out of
00:15:32
the sledge fitting here. These weren't
00:15:34
clamped enough at the factory.
00:15:37
[gasps] And to make matters worse, look
00:15:40
at this. I couldn't believe this. Now,
00:15:43
this is the fitting that goes into the
00:15:45
fuel distributor.
00:15:47
And you're supposed to connect the
00:15:49
tester to it here. And you would tighten
00:15:52
this down all the way. Can you believe
00:15:55
this? Tighten this all down all the way.
00:15:57
And look,
00:15:59
it's still loose. It wouldn't seat. and
00:16:02
even if it would seat. So, I was ending
00:16:05
up having to cut some of this off and
00:16:09
these fittings would still leak.
00:16:12
Now,
00:16:14
if you don't think that's bad enough,
00:16:15
the other problem was on this quick
00:16:17
disconnect that came on almost all of
00:16:20
these testers. You thought, "Wow, that's
00:16:22
really cool. Let's have a quick
00:16:23
disconnect." Right? We can just snap
00:16:26
this on and snap it off and set the
00:16:30
gauge away. when we were storing it.
00:16:32
Well, the problem with these were
00:16:34
leaking because the O-rings inside these
00:16:36
quick disconnects were failing
00:16:39
and to continue on gauges,
00:16:44
having to throw away all kinds of gauges
00:16:48
cuz most of these were anywhere from 3
00:16:51
to 6 PSI off.
00:16:54
So now you can see the challenges that I
00:16:57
was faced with trying to produce a
00:17:00
quality, reliable and leak-free tester.
00:17:05
But wait, that wasn't all. You know,
00:17:07
these testers have a valve on them, and
00:17:09
the testers that were shipped with most
00:17:12
of them would leak. They would leak out
00:17:15
the fitting here, or they would leak out
00:17:16
the top. And you do have to have a good
00:17:19
valve if you're going to test Bosch CIS
00:17:23
fuel injection.
00:17:25
And let's continue. The other fittings
00:17:28
in most of these kits were not machined
00:17:32
properly. Look at the surface there. See
00:17:34
how rough that surface is? Now, this is
00:17:37
supposed to seat down when you connect
00:17:40
these two fittings together tight to
00:17:43
prevent any leaks.
00:17:46
So, we have to take the fittings
00:17:49
and we have to put them in the lathe and
00:17:51
machine them in order for them to seal
00:17:55
properly against leaks. And instead of
00:17:58
O-rings, we provide these aluminum
00:18:01
sealing rings so that you can get a
00:18:04
tight leak-free seal. I do not like just
00:18:07
using O-rings, handtight while doing
00:18:10
these fuel system pressure tests. Let me
00:18:13
show you how I dealt with all these
00:18:15
challenges. I want to start with the
00:18:16
fittings. Okay, this right here became a
00:18:20
critical fitting to source and I ended
00:18:24
up getting these out of Germany because
00:18:26
this is a fitting you definitely want to
00:18:28
seat against the fittings that go into
00:18:33
either the fuel distributor or even the
00:18:36
warm-up regulator. Now watch as I put
00:18:39
this in and screw it down.
00:18:44
Watch where it bottoms out. Say you have
00:18:47
a good eighth of an inch before that's
00:18:49
going to hit. And then you can tighten
00:18:51
these down so that the surface in here,
00:18:55
which is high quality, you'll not get
00:18:57
any leaks out of these fittings. And I
00:19:00
also used special clamps
00:19:04
and special hos. This is a high-pressure
00:19:06
fuel injection hose to prevent any leaks
00:19:10
at each point. Here the valve, I sourced
00:19:13
a quality valve. It's more expensive,
00:19:16
but you can expect this valve to work
00:19:18
properly, seal properly, and not leak.
00:19:21
And then in the center, I eliminated
00:19:24
threaded fittings with this T. There is
00:19:27
a threaded fitting here, granted, but I
00:19:30
eliminated two of them right there. And
00:19:33
as far as the quick disconnect, no more
00:19:36
quick disconnect.
00:19:39
This is removable, but it has to screw
00:19:42
down and seal tight like that. That was
00:19:45
solved. And then we test these crimps.
00:19:48
Each one of these crimps is tested. We
00:19:50
have a machine that can recrimp these.
00:19:52
If they show any signs of leaking, we
00:19:55
pressure test everything under 100 PSI
00:19:58
in water to make sure there are no
00:20:01
leaks. On my deluxe kit, I offer the
00:20:04
liquid fill gauge, which is reliable and
00:20:07
less prone to damage due to engine
00:20:10
vibration or dropping. And then this is
00:20:12
the latest modification I've made. I
00:20:15
want to make sure the capture bottles
00:20:17
are attached. This is a big issue. I can
00:20:20
remember one of the first tests I was
00:20:22
doing while the engine was running, I
00:20:23
accidentally bumped this button and fuel
00:20:25
sprayed out all over the engine while
00:20:27
the engine was running. So I said,
00:20:28
"Okay, that's absolute no no." So we
00:20:31
actually attach these before we ship
00:20:33
them. When you're all done with a test,
00:20:35
you're going to hit this button, release
00:20:37
fuel into this bottle before you
00:20:40
disconnect this from the engine. So here
00:20:42
you can see the latest version of the
00:20:44
deluxe tester I offer. And I'm very
00:20:48
proud to say we've solved all those
00:20:50
issues. And I cannot stress enough that
00:20:54
you have to have one of these fuel
00:20:56
system pressure testers if you're going
00:20:58
to work on these old Mercedes fuel
00:21:00
injected engines, particularly the
00:21:02
Kjetronic with a warmup.
00:21:05
That's number one. You'll be chasing
00:21:07
your tail forever trying to figure out
00:21:09
why your engine doesn't run right if you
00:21:12
don't have one of these fuel system
00:21:14
pressure testers. And I have full videos
00:21:15
in my kit that walk you through the
00:21:17
procedures on all these things.

Description:

How do you test it? It is called other things, but I think it should be called the "pacemaker." Watch the video to see if you agree. Link to my tester: https://mercedessource.com/store/search?keys=Bosch%20fuel%20injection%20pressure%20tester. This is specific to Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection systems from 1976 to 1985.
