1000 rpm is rather high, should be 850-900 warm.

 

some shunt though is 'normal'    just how they are with the analogue control, they are a lot better with a more modern engine management system.

Thanks Mei , having never driven another one I can't say whats normal other nineties cars I had had later motronic injection setups with cats  and I don't remember them being at all "shunty" at low speed . I do though have a spare afm so will stick it in and see if it works to compare .

indeed motronic was a good step further on over jetronic, especially when using a map sensor instead of the AFM.

 

having a full throttle position sensor as opposed to a switch, and digital ignition control smooths things out.
