Subject:High Idle, Setting the timing
From:Joel Sell
Date:Mon, 28 Jan 2002 14:35:30 -0400

Volks,
        I've got email, but no internet access, so I can't search the
archives. Sorry. I'm battling a high idle- about 2k when the engine
warms up, but begins at 1k when the engine is cold. I replaced the O2
sensor, and started fiddling with the other adjustments I know of. I
tried to lower the idle with the little screw on the idle arm (?),
but it wouldn't go down much and I didn't think that was the root of
the problem. I tried adjusting that big flathead screw on the
throttle body, and the idle DID change some, but I wasn't totally
aware of what I was doing, so I just put it back like it was and left
it alone. Then I thought I might try to check the timing. How do I do
this? Do I have to unplug the TempII wires? What is the TempII
sender? Where is it? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Joel
