Idle adjustment at carburator end - Cars & Trucks

Well the engine is fuel injected, so no carb is used.
Base idle is set at the factory, and the computer adjusts idle speed depending on load by controlling the amount of air entering the throttle body thru the idle air control valve.

Believe it or not you just said the solution to your own problem manufacturers specs requires for any adjustments to engine idle or other carburator adjustments to be preformed while the engine is idling and at normal operating temp in plain english let the car warm up then make your idle and mixture adjustments if this doesnt solve it i would check the auto choke and make sure it is opening at normal operating temp hope this helps good luck

get a repair manual online or store--spray some carb cleaner on it--mitchell and chilton have sites that show procedures

PROMLEM MAY BE BECAUSE LOW IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT. INCREASE THE LOW SPEED/ IDLE SPEED BY INCREASING THE FUEL INTAKE . IN CARBURATOR VEH. ADJUST THE IDLE SCREW CLOCKWISE. IF IT IS FUEL INJECTOR INCREASE THE FUEL AT PUMP ITSELF.

If the carburator has never been rebuilt, or the plugs that were installed at the factory have never been removed, you need to remove those plugs, there is one for each idle mixture screw, at the front of the base plate on the bottom of the carburator, 1 for the TPS adjustment on the driver side front of the carburator, and one for the mixture control solenoid on top of the carburator, in the middle, towards the front.

Turn the front idle screws in until they bottom out gently. DON'T turn them in hard or you will damage the tapered ends. From there turn them back out 1 and 1/2 turns. That should start the car and you can adjust from there. If you do then do it in 1/4 turns and do both screw at tne same time. Hope this helps.

What do you need to adjust? What is the symptom?
If you need to adjust the idle, there is an idler screw that has a tension spring on it so it will stay in place. Tighten it clockwise to increase the idle RPM and counter-clockwise to lower the idleing RPM.
Treat the linkage arms with carburator cleaning spray (AutoZone $4).

YOU NEED THAT THE CARBURATOR SHOKE BE RE ADJUST. IT HAS THE FUNCTION OF ELEVATE IDLE UNTIL MOTOR WARM AND THEN TURN IT TO THE REAL LEVEL. EXCESIVE IDDLE OR TIME MEAN CARBURATOR NEED BE SERVICED AND OR RE ADJUSTED

Carburated engines of that year may have an idle screw adjuster. You can see the screw from the outside of the carb. If so, try adjusting the carburator with a screwdriver. Unlike fuel injected Engines they can be manually adjusted.

you need to wind the idle adjusting screw to set the idle its the lowest screw on the side of the accelerator cable holder
