May 15, 201015 yr I just got done with a long block swap and the wagon runs like a champ. Cold start great , warm start great, 28 mpg, but when fully warm the tack says it is at 500 rpm. I saw on the hood that timing should be set at 700. How can you set the idle on the SPFI systems. I played with the timing a little but it was hard to get a higher idle and it didn't seem to make much difference like a normal dist. I don't have a timing light so I just set it my sound. If it starts good and revs good, no ping. I saw the idle screw on the throttle body has paint on it like a factory setting. What is the correct way to raise the idle to 700. It idle pretty smooth at 500, just a little loppy.
May 15, 201015 yr There should be an idle air adjustment screw recessed on the passenger side front area near the top of the throttle body that you can try backing out a little bit.
May 15, 201015 yr I can't stress enough how important it is for you Not to mess with that "idle adjust screw" with the white paint on it. It's not a idle adjust screw.
