Fixkick,
My idle went up about 200-300 rpm after adjusting the valves and cleaning the throttle body and new timing belt. I found two valves that were really tight. The ones nearest the firewall.
How do I bring the idle back down? I looked for 20 mins in the fsm and couldn't find a procedure. Is the screw on the upper back throttle body the right screw to bring it back down? It also seems like that when I rev the engine, it takes a bit for the rpm to settle down. Is this normal?
I have to say that my engine sings a new tune after all this work! It sounds like it's a fully tuned motor! I'm blown away. It really has a vibrant sound and seems more peppy! I can hear it in the exhaust note!
John
ps. EGR test now brings the engine idle down! Very happy!
All the work was definitely worth it!
