I believe the aforementioned part on my '84 wagon is faulty. I know I'll need to replace it at some point but have been unable to find the correct part online. I see many which are labeled as Nissan or Datsun. Will any of those work?

 

Thanks for the help.

Are there any markings on yours?

 

All it is is a solenoid with a needle valve.

 

Why do you think yours is bad?

 

Nissan or datsun part will work

Thanks for the response. There are no markings. I thought it bad because my car will run while moving or warming up, but will not idle. This condition had a sudden onset while driving. However, I just had a friend help me by turning the car on while I listened for a click from the solenoid, and it seems to be engaging. Do you have any ideas of what else could cause those symptoms?

Dirt in the carb, time for a rebuild?

Do you think that would cause this problem to occur that suddenly? I haven't had any carburetor problems before.

They are available on Summit Racing web site for pretty cheap.

You can also gut it (remove the spring and pin) with nominal ill effects. 

 

Even if only as a short term measure to determine if that is indeed your issue.
