idle adjusting steps - tps bac max idle cam thermowax
Hi all. I pretty much messed with everything,
tps set to 1k ohm
bac - has turned the screw in both directions w/ no change
max idle cam - I think thats what its called, its the one connected to the throttle plates that you have to rotate to adjust. This is the one I have had the most success with.
thermowax - Is this the screw that is more on the drivers side of what I called the max idle cam screw? Its right under the pot? How do I know what to adjust that to?
Because I cant dont know what affects what and want to try and fix my idle issues, what order should I set these to? I noticed that if I mess with either the thermowax or the max idle cam, I have to reset the TPS.
So question is, what order to adjust everything?
My guess is unplug the TPS, unplug the BAC, set the max idle cam since that seems to the control all of the idle, then set the thermowax somehow, I dont know how to test that setting, then plug in the TPS, set the TPS, then plug in the bac and keep twisting the screw till it sounds as good as when only the max idle cam was it?
How close am I?
