Increase idle
I believe that my idle is set around 700 RPM. That is enough to keep it from cutting out - but it could be better.
What I wanted to do was increase the idle to around 900 RPM (if possible). Can someone detail how to accomplish that? |

Re: Re: Increase idle
I found the screw! Yippi!
But... It won't move. I have WD-40'd the heck out of it. Any suggestions on how to turn it? lol :-) |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Increase idle
So I should loosen the nut instead? Or in combination w/ the screw? ((sorry if this is stupid - but i have no clue - obviously ;-) ))

Re: Increase idle
The manual specifies not to adjust the throttle stop screw. It's set at the factory and will play havoc w your throttle position sensor. There's a large philips screw on the throttle body called the idle air adjusting screw. Backing it out should allow extra air to bypass the metered system & the ecm will adjust the mixture to increase idle. If the ports are a little carboned up, this adjustment may be all you need. If they're plugged, they'll need to be cleaned.
If the idle control valve has failed, you'd also see the symptoms you've described. Unfortunately, It's expensive but you can try to remove and clean it first. The line on the tach under 1000 is actually 750 and this is the correct idle setting (+ or - 50) with a/c off. |
