How should I adjust the Idle screw? The car seems to run crappy (bouncy idle). Also, the idle mix screw is set all the way to rich, I dont know what it should be. Anyone wanna tell me how to adjust the TPS?

 

So maybe I should get a S-AFC? Arent those things expensive?

 

400 bucks at most dealers or whatever...try th erx7 store on the forum..i believe it is at the top of the forum page on every page. I think he seel them about 100 bucks less.
later

 

Buying a s-afc in order to band-aid a bad idle... that's one of the biggest wastes of money I've ever heard..
Anything that the s-afc can do improve your idle, you can do yourself using the correct procedure and the idle mixture screw..

In fact, if you need a s-afc to get proper idle, then your car is screwed with to begin with...

idle bounce is usually related to the TPS being misadjusted.. there are several web pages that will show you how to adjust it properly .. the easiest way is shown on Ted's site http://www.k2rd.com/FC3S/HOWTO/TPS/tps.html

once you have the TPS set, then adjust your idle mixture correctly .. jumper the initial set connector with a peice of wire.. adjust the screw on the BAC valve to give you 750 rpm, then adjust your idle mixture screw to give you the highest idle.. use the BAC to adjust the idle back to 750rpm.. disconnect the jumper.. your idle should bounce a few seconds then come down to a normal idle ...

If you still can't get idle set correctly using this method, then there is something else that is out to lunch with your motor.. vac leak perhaps, improper throttle stop screw setting etc...

 

ok i'm having trouble with my idle so i'll ask some questions here too

in the Haynes manual that I have... it doesn't mention the mixture screw...

where is it? i can't find it

and where is the initial set connector?

thx

 

This is great info, im going to go put it to use.
EDIT: Great info meaning the write up on Teds page.

 

The idle mixture screw is by the boost pressre sensor, mounted to the passanger front shock tower. Its recessed in plastic, and has a "L" and a "R"on it. The initial set connector is on the driver side fender, next to the battery. Its by a green 6 prong plug. It is (the initial set connector) a green 2 pronged plug.

 

thx i'll be working on my idle today when i get home
