Steven Romero Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 1986 GL-10 Turbo Wagon, FWD, 3AT. Ok I finally got the wagon back on the road after a suspension rebuild and ignition tune-up. The car runs fine except for valve train noise that I plan to tackle with some SeaFoam over the weekend. The only annoying issue now is that the cars idles a little low (around 750 RPM on the digital dash) when I'm sitting at a stop light in with the 3AT in the drive position. I'd like to get that fixed. Any ideas? Thanks. ./steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Shift into neutral? Well, seriously, what is the idle RPM in neutral? Not that *I* could help with an analysis with that info, but I bet others here could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that *I* could help with an analysis with that info, but I bet others here could. Ok smarty - I actually have started doing that! Idling in neutral is around 950 RPM closed loop (in spec from what I read). ./steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize there was a throttle adjustment for MPFI. I wouldn't be worried about the 750 RPM - as you said 800 is the spec - but the engine really chugs when things are going this slow...it sounds like my subie is really gasping... ./steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
