so when i first got the car the idle was a little low .. get bad surges when coming to stop ...
so i dove in and set that and re adjusted timing
i also sprayed out the IAC before doing this
now my question is this ..
when i set my idle it initially was where the engine was barely running. you could hear it gasping and putting for air .. not sure what rpms were but obviously low like 400 approx... still kinda had slight dips especially when ac was on coming to stop ..
so..
then later i decided that didnt seem right so i went back and re-adjusted the idle this time by the tach to 600 ... then pulled fuse reset etc ...
IMO it runs better via the second way with very minimal drops but now i get random jumps every once in a while from IAC in the mornings..
maybe the IAC doesnt have as much room to adjust beings i adjusted idle up more ???
my idle for cali suppose to be 700 +/- 50 with 15°+/- 2°
manual i have says all motors timing should be set at 800 and 15° +/- 2°
im assuming the tiny difference is due to California emissions ..
i figured that 750 would be the magic number beings thats the only number both +/- touch for each spec
seems to idle fine right in between the 6 and 8 hundred lines on tach ..
1. any recommendations on rpm guages for a more accurate reading ? not breaking the bank
2. did i do ok both ways technically adjusting idle ?
3. is there a secondary way to check timing at different rpms ranges for accuracy ?
4. are IAC's from boneyard a waste of time ?
pik n pull here has them for 32-35.00 ... plus you can get 12 month warranty now ?
that even worth it or just shell out the big dough for a new one ? ( cant find the Delphi only off brand isshhh)
