Alrite my idle is pretty high around 1100~1400rpm range even when its all warm up. Do anyone exactly know the procedure to adjust it.

 

anyone? reted? icemark? nader? karack?

server is down now, but check back later its there

 

i kno is down, i already adjusted my tps like a million times, and i dont want to deal with it anymore!!!!! Idle is just high, not rough, and i remember reading the FSM about adjusting idle speed, but not clear/sure about it.

 

he has idle adjustment info there too.

 

im still waiting for that site to go back up. thnx. I was like trying to search in that site and it was down so i was hoping if anyone would know. but thanks anyways.

 

Try the idle adjust air screw. I think thats what your talkin about.

For the turbo engines I think it is close to the BAC on the driver's side of the engine bay close to the LIM, basically you just adjust with a flat-head screwdriver.

 

take the intercooler off
look at the thermo wax
jam something between the thermowax and the screw so its fully extended

see if it still idles at 1100rpm - if it doesnt, you've found your problem



and i cant belieive you didnt name my name - i hope you die for that ****

 

For an N/A, and probably a TII, check the set screw on the TB. Basically it tightens your throttle so it pulls it open slightly giving you a higher idle.

 

I had the same problem the thermo-wax passage was blocked with crud water would not pass throw the thermo-wax to warm it up to kick down the idle. So i took off the thermo-wax and cleaned it and know it works great.

do that, worked for me, though i found the screw to be painfully sensitive

 

sorry about that alan, but anyways ill give that a try. Also i still think is related to my bac screw because everytime i shift into neutral rolling to a stop it will idle @800 for like a second or two then goes back up to 1100rpm

 

what does the thermo wax do?

 

raise the idle before ur car is warmed up
it works like a thermowax, so u can kinda see why it could be a problem after many years...

 

That cracks me up. Although the first part does explain it, the second part is... yeah...

"What does the thermowax do?"
"it works like a thermowax"

 

haha
too much alcohol in my system yesterday - wasnt making sense
i meant thermostat!

 

during warm it idles @ 900rpm, but after it idles from 1.2k to 1.5k

 

I have a similar problem but I am convinced that my BAC is bad since I tested the resistance with a Ohm meter and found it to be too high for FSM specs. I also believe my TPS is bad tho since that tested out of specs big time too.

 

i was thinking of that too, i kept on saying that to my self on my way down to pomona. note* not in the 7. But my TPS was ok, it was within spec of the FSM

 

My TPS does not go down to the proper Ohm specs without me forcing it all the way closed. Altho the WOT is within specs the closed is high. Also my BAC works but it is 1.0-1.1 Ohms above the max resistance. So I am going to start with replacing the BAC and see if that helps even tho I know the TPS is probably bad, I don't get any hesitation or rough idle, its just a high idle unless I rev the engine and let it drop quickly down then it acts like it is going to catch at 1100 rpms but will go down to the 750 or so that it should. But if I rev then engine and let it slowly come down to idle it will stop at about 1100 or so and idle between there and 1400 or so.

 

yep that sound my symptons on my car, but tps part. now im planning to do emission removal on my car or should i just get a New BAC? Do anyone know where to get one at?

 

Check Used parts, I have a BAC and TPS from a 87 NA if your interested in either let me know. I can test the BAC and make sure its still good if your interested.


Also my mods are a K&N filter in the stock box and a RB full true Dual exhaust with a street port 2 P&P job from atkins.
