26449, TB adjustment
Posted by Semperboost, Jul-02-02 03:44 AM
You know those two screws on the intake manifold that adjust the butterfly for idle..well i tried to adjust mine and the little plate cannot go to the left more. Is there something wrong with my throttle line having too much slack? Thanks

You can't adjust the idle on our cars - the computer does it all. That little screw lets you adjust the closed position of the butterfly valve. The butterfly needs to be set to just a hair away from all the way closed. If it's not, the butterfly will stick in the bore of the throttle body. As far as I know, there's nothing you can do about the idle short of installing a standalone engine management system.

I'm assuming that you think it's idling too high? How does it idle?

My car Idle's fine but I'd like to get more Throttle response by tightening the slack of the line..thing is -it can't be cuz the adj. plate is already all the way to the left
