  1. That would be a great help. I've tried locating some service manuals on this and i can't find anything. I've also tried locating a factory service manual to no avail. Thanks again, krmiller07
  2. Hey thanks, I tried adjusting the solenoid in the front of the TB ( loosening the lock nut and turning the screw inward) all that seemed to do is increase the idle speed when the fan swithch is off along with the A/C ? Do the 2 solenoids your talking about serve as some sort of 'fast idle' as well? Becauswe during the winter here in MN, I have to generally turn the fan on to get the engine to idle higher than when its warmed. I also remember having a brand new 87 Pathy and it always started up cold and idled at, at least 1500 rpm until it started to get some temp in it. Then it would gradually idle down to about 800 rpm when it was fully up to temp. I'm going to look into those solenoids, but I haven't touched anything aside from adjusting the idle speed and the front solenoid. It's really annoying to turn on the A/C and have the damn thing nearly die at stoplight etc. So I cranked up the idle to about 1100 rpm in neutral, 8-900 with the A/C on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW I have tried contacting some of the smaller non-dealer shops, including those who 'specialize in imports' and they all look at me with a 'deer in the head lights look' and a Talk to the dealer...answer ! krmiller07
  3. Does anyone know the procedure for properly adjusting the TBI on a VG-30 V-6 ? I am trying to figure out why,when I set the idle speed to the factory setting and the turn on the fan or A/C the idle speed drops to about 4-500 rpm. I noticed 2 adjustable 'dash pots' on the front of the TBI as well. I have a 5 speed manual trans. The only way to keep the rpm's up to a decent level with the fan on, seems to be by turning the idle speed up while the A/C is running...to about 900 rpm's. But when I shut it off the engine idles at about 1100 rpm's in Neutral. I'd also like to know how you adjust the idle mixture setting as well. Thanks for any input, I've called local dealers and nobody seems to remember how to work on the TBI engines. krmiller07

    AC UCAs

    I just bought a set of Rancho UCA's on ebay are these any longer than the stock arms? I 'm only going after about 2.5-3.0 inches of lift probably using JGC springs. My main concern is the proper geometry to attain the correct alignment and keep the ball joints from binding and or breaking. Any info on those arm's? I would have to agree on the choice of grease with poly bushings. My experince with these bushings or any poly type of material is to use a grease which contains " Teflon" or PTF, I have also used anti-sieze lubricant or assembly lube. This works great lasts along time and wont wash away. I fact it's nearly impossible to get off with brake clean !!!! It has molybenendum or"moly" in it along with grafite. Just don't wipe it on your pant or wash your shop rags in the wifes washer and dryer, you'll never hear the end of it. It sticks to EVERYTHING !!!!! krm
