It seems that my Idle control that points straight up and down and can be adjusted with a phillips is moving? not sure how this is happening...it seems that my car will idle fine when i start it and then when i drive it for a little bit it has a lot higher RPM around 3 grand sometimes...then others 2 grand depending when i get to it...i notice that i can turn it back down and its fine...so i know its moving otherwise i would eventually run outta space to turn it back.

has anyone ran into this problem before...


once again when car is run the idle adjustment ( idle Bleed i believe) moves up and causes a higher idle..

 

IIRC, the throttle plate adjuster (the vertical one) should have a lock nut to keep it from moving. If it doesn't, that's why it's moving. The idle bleed screw is under the intake elbow.

 

There should be a jamb nut on the screw to stop it from moving.

 

ill take a look in the morning guys thanks...takin her to the track tomorrow see what she actually puts down!

 

Yep. Any nut with the right thread pattern will do.

 

sweet i wonder how the hell it came off...

 

Uuummmm it can't. If the screw is still present then it had to be installed with the nut missing, it would be a kin to a miracle for the screw to come out then the nut remove itself from the screw and the screw fall back into the threaded hole without the nut.....yep a miracle ! ! ! ! Probably just got over looked when it was replaced or something, I'm guessing you haven't had it long.

 

3 months and it was working fine until recently then it just kept turning itself up somehow??? very odd...anyone have a picture of what theirs looks like so i can compare?

 

Just take the screw down to an ACE hardware and match the metric threads, you can even go for stainless steel.

 

yeah im definitly missing that nut...****...
