Hey,
About six years ago my dad cut out the air fuel ratio control solenoid on his '85 by making a jumper lead. The way that I understand it is that the computer sends a signal to the solenoid which then returns to the computer through ground. He simply took the signal and jumped it back to the computer instead of running it through the solenoid first.
After doing this, It ran better than it ever had before. It was much more responsive, and it pulled all the way through each gear instead of becoming flat. It would hit 80mph before shifting to third. I was in the car with him once and it hit over 100mph.
He only had it set up like this for a couple of weeks though because he wasn't sure how the computer would take the relativally high current it was receiving.
Has anyone else tried this? It sounds like a resister from radio shack would eliminate the high current problem.
