idling problem

[sx_turbo]

is it really better to adjust the idling when in diagnostics mode?

apparently so

well anyways... my idle rpm goes up to 1.8k when cold and once warm it stays around 1.2k. when i turn the lights on it goes down to 1.1k. i want it to set around 800-900 rpm with the lights on. the idle screw is already fully closed but i cant seem to get it any lower.. anybody knows what could be wrong with this? or is there anything else im forgetting to adjust?


your help is greatly appriciated guys...


thanks

I always adjust mine when it's warm, when the warm idling rate is about right, who cares about the rest?

1500RPM when cold sounds about right and 900 or so when warm.

the idle screw is already fully closed but i cant seem to get it any lower.. anybody knows what

have you tried the idle screw on the throttle body ,and also have you tried to adjust at the throttle cable

the idle screw is already fully closed... ill try to adjust the throttle cable in the morning.. its already dark in this side of the planet and we dont have any work lights.. hope this one works..


cheers

if it still does not sort it ,it could be throttle postion sensor is not alligned porperly,fingers crossed the throttle cable works mate,id also clean idle control valve ,left hand side of inlet mani and also the auto choke ,which is attached underneath the throttle body ,were all the pipes are attached to,if ye need pics ,let me know

 

[jackep82]

ive already checked the throttle cable and its working fine.. pics would really help out my cause. im already itching to get this problem fixed.


many thanks,

jack

did you adjust the nut were the throttle cable attachs the throttle bodie
idle control valve ,take of and clean

autochoke(coldstartvalve) ,is the one with the pipes ,you will need to separate from the throttle bodie ,it can sometimes get full with gunk and cause high idle ,you will need sealent if you split it from throttle body
