I foolishly messed with the long 15mm nut and the 12mm nut attached to the back of the injector pump yesterday....really not sure what I was thinking but now the cars transmission flares up terribly. Is it related? Do the nuts have something to do with the vacuum system? And how can I reset them to their proper setting?

Check the levers on the pump. Chances are that you knocked one off that goes to the vacuum control valve.

What levers are you reffering to? Do you know what adjustments those nuts on the back (stacked) are for...
Thanks

If you adjusted what I think you did.....it's part of the governor that lives inside of the back end of the FIP......specifically the speeder spring.....if you took the time to count the number of hexes that you moved it....just turn it back...it should get close....the only true way to set that adjustment properly is on a test / calibration bench.....

So the question begging to be asked is, what were you trying accomplish by adjusting it?

The larger one is a lock nut.....if you look closely you may see some little holes drilled in it....for seal wire....it also could just have a dot of bright paint so that a Bosch Rep will know if someone has been fooling with that adjustment.....

I don't remember if the Benz pumps have the seal there or not...but I do remember sealing the Dodge/Cummins pumps there.....

Note: I worked as a Bosch Tech for about 6 or 8 months shortly after I retired....left there to go back out to Diego Garcia at the request of the folks that I retired from.....made me an offer that could not be refused....

I'd bet these threads are related: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=192198

Adjusting the rack damper should not have any affect on transmission shifting, only idle quality.

Yup.....so if he has an extra pump.....he and has not adjusted on it...he should be OK......
