Agreed. With a 4EAT, fluid does not circulate unless the engine is running. Regardless of engine.

The first round of replacements was "interim". They replaced the airbags with the same defective Takata units (just newer) that were being removed. The Takata bags were considered more dangerous the longer they were in service and the higher the humidity of the environment they were exposed to. This second round is to replace them with permanent replacements rather than the defective original units. GD

Here's the quick way to tune a DFxV/DGxV carburetor. (DFAV 28/32, DGEV 32/36, Holley 5200) With the car off, warmed up if possible, if not, have the choke fully open. Turn the mixture screw all the way in. Don't force it. once it stops, it's done stopped! Back it out 2 turns. Turn the idle screw out until it no longer touches the linkage. turn it back in until it just barely makes contact. Turn it 1.5 more times. these are base settings for tuning a weber carburetor. From here, turn the car on. Slowly turn the idle up, and then back down. Find the spot that it just barely will idle at. Then turn it in about 1/4" or until it's the smoothest running. Adjust the mixture screw by turning it in or out. (in = lean, out = rich) Adjust it until you feel you have the best position for smoothness in the idle. if you find that it is out more than 2.5 turns, you may want to consider putting in smaller jets. If you find that it is less than 1.5 turns, you may consider putting in bigger jets. Once you feel comfortable with the running conditions from there, go back to adjusting the idle. Go as low as you can before it starts to die. if you have a/c, turn it on. You want it to idle about 700-900 RPM with full load accessories. All this info on listening is really good for those (like caboobaroo) who don't have tachs! If you feel comfortable with what you think your mileage should be, the way it responds, and if the number of turns matches about what is reccomended for everything, Great. if not, then you might want to consider adjusting internal parts. (idle, mains, air adj.) all this info can be found on weber's website..... http://www.redlineweber.com go to technical documents and there will be all the tuning info for their various carbs. The most important piece is the base line settings... if you don't know that, you can'd accurately tune the carb. Hope this helps.
