Turbo Idle Adjust

Featured Replies

As most may recall, I swapped the 3 speed auto with a FT4WD 5 speed on the 87 T-Wag. Now the car idles too fast when in neutral, at about 1600 RPMs. Is the idle set higher to compensate for the drag of the torque converter? If so, how do I adjust it

are you telling the car it is in drive or neutrial?

i ment when you did the swap did you wire the selector switch to where the car thinks it's in park, drive, or neutral, to elaborate most cars idle faster in park than when in drive or neutral,

I always thought the change in idle when going from park to drive was caused by the drag that the transmission is putting on the engine, am I wrong?

87 3AT isn't smart enough to know the difference.. Only necessary transmission wiring magic to be done is the bypassing of the neutral safety switch.

a good opportunity for the idle screw to be completely taken out and cleaned up

 

Curious. Why would you do that???
