RE: [DML] Cold Idle Problem

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jason, I would up the idle to about 950 RPM's and be sure to turn in the
screw above it in enough as to turn on or trip the switch to turn on the
idle speed motor. Can you be more specific about the cold idle problem. You
said it cleared up after it warmed up, so that tells me that the fuel
adjustment is to rich or to lean. I would think to lean without more
information.

Subject: [DML] Cold Idle Problem




    Hello list, I was hoping someone could point me in the right
direction on this. Last year my car started having a small problem
idling when the engine was cold. It wanted to stay around  500-
600 rpm. After it warmed up it was fine. I went ahead and put a
new cap,rotor,plugs and wires on it and it still did it. Well, I did
a quick fix and turned the throttle position in a little bit to raise
the idle.

   Well here it is springtime and I'm ready to get it out again. I started
it up and it still had the cold idle problem but was fine when warm.
I'm ready to fix it for good now. Where should I start? I have a new o2
sensor for it but I can't get the other one out so I'm gonna have a shop
do it for me plus a new fuel filter. Where else can I start at?   Any help
would be appreciated.

   Thanks in advance.............Jason #5903
