Intake air sensor issues!!!- '77 Campmobile

Arthurp 16 March 2005 06:03:52
 Ok, I threw a question out there a while ago regarding my '77 Campmobile.
It would start, but would soon quit again. If I pressed the gas pedal, it
would die immediately. Well, after checking, testing, & all that over &
over, I came up with nothing. Then suddenly, it occurred to me. An air
problem? Disconnect the wires from the intake air sensor!! I did that &
I'll be damned. It worked! The beast fired right up! Now, do I replace it?
Can I repair it? What happens if I cruise around with it disconnected? If I
do replace it, does anybody have a line on where I could come up with an
inexpensive one? Does anybody have one I could buy for cheap? Any help
will be greatly appreciated I assure you.

My '77 acts just the opposite. When I accidentally left the air intake wires
off, it would idle ok but die when given any throttle.
Did you jumper anything out to get it to run with wires disconnected? Maybe
just bad/corroded connections at air sensor?

 Found the problem. Well, I took the filter box/air sensor out, and I feel
like an idiot. I shook the whole thing and heard a rattle. If you look
inside of your sensor, from the square end, there is a flapper/valve
assembly. Part of this assembly is a little round disk, which is exactly
the size of a quarter. On mine, this has broken off. Now my only concern
is, what else broke off (because it looks like there should be more to it)
and where the hell did it go? I cringe at the thought of little metal bits
being sucked into throttle & so on. Bad news!

 If anyone's still interested, I ended up finding the round disc inside the
air filter box, the outer half of the rectangular part in the air intake
distributor, and the now destroyed spring/pin inside of #4 cylinder. It
had started making noise as it was slammed between the head and piston
end. Luckily, it didn't make it into the rings, and the cylinder walls
weren't scored. Thank god. It was a long Saturday, but we got the engine
out, torn down, reassembled, back in and running all in one day.
