How To Up The Idle?

[ThomasMoore]

Hey guys,

 

 

Probably a dumb question, but how do I go about upping the idle on my pathy? She's running a little low at stop lights. Probably around 600rpm, but i'm not sure as the tach is a little out at lower revs...

 

 

Cheers,

The Fsm says there is an idle ajustment screw below the intake manifold collector. I don't have a good picture of that for you.

600-700 in drive and 750-900 in park is just fine... as long as 10 PSI of oil pressure is circulating there's no problem, which even 600 RPM is enough to produce.

Cheers. I'll have a crack at this on the weekend and post photographs if I get it to work.

I believe that adjustment screw is only for pathy equiped with a/c

But I higher idle wont harm anything. infact, the balancer/dampener smoothes out more at higer RPM which is good for the bearings.
