Featured Replies

1987 gl wagon 5 speed D/R it idles about 2000 rpm and when warm it does not come down,still 2000 rpm.can somebody tell me how to adjust the carb???

i would like to also adjust the low idle also????thanks in advance for the help from this board gives.Bill:wave:

check choke kickdown, vac leaks, and gaskets

pour mmo down carb to fog system clean

use carb cleaner in tank, pour in at 1/2 tank or less, repeat 2x

adjust idle speed with a LONG slot type cabinet screwdriver, it sticks out behind the ps pump, you'll know when you find it

Can somebody tell me where the cold( what is cold??? rpms) and operating temp idle is 700 rpm and do i do the cold first and then the warm?????Bill:wave:

check the slack in your throttle cable, if it is too tight it will cause your car not to idle correctly.
