My 4x4 which has the Jetronic fuel injection system really cant seem to work itself out at idle.
Its constantly hunting between about 500 and 1000rpm
I'm assuming that the air metering device is probably shagged.
Does anybody have one for sale?

On the throttle positioning switch housing
It should be near the butterfly somewhere. With the engine off, twist the butterfly so the throttle is open. When you close it again, do it slowly. You should hear a quiet click like a switch. If you don't, it needs adjusting so it clicks when the throttle is released, otherwise the ECU doesn't know when to idle. Its round the back of the throttle body on a 16v, little black thing.
That said, 16v's are Motronic obviously. Is Jetronic the completely mechanical one? I've never worked on one, so its possible it doesn't have it

K jetronic is the mechanical one as used by some Porsches and VW's. The electronic one is L Jetronic etc as used by Jaguar (with Lucas Labels!) and everyone else. As far as I know K was never used on BX or subsequent Citroens but may have been used on some CX.
Incidentally I believe L jetronic may have been a Bendix design - now is this the same Bendix who made washing machines?

By the time you're old enough to know it all, you can't remember why you were learning.
