[DMCForum] idle problem solved

[<billsfanmd@xxxxxxx>]

I usually do not post duplicate messages on both lists but for a thank you
I thought it made sense...

With the help of Martin and Rich Acuti this time I may have solved my idle
problem. My idle was sluggish, my car surged up and down when cold and I
had RPM dips when I took it out of gear. Acceleration was fine. After
checking almost everything and bugging lots of people I think I got it
straightened out....Having checked just about everything I was running out
of ideas. I emailed Martin off list and he gave me a suggestion as an
option. I know is goes against everything we hold sacred on the  DML :-)
But I adjusted the 3 brass screws.  

What Martin suggested is to slightly open the main brass idle screw no
more then 1 turn and then each of the screws that controls each side 2
turns. Rich and I have helped each other over the past 6 months so he
threw his kids in his car and came over. Since I have kids it worked out
great so Rich and I could hit the garage. After telling Rich we should
check, plugs, injectors, etc, etc. etc.  Rich said to try Martin's idea.

First we verified my 02 setting was fine. So Rich then opened the main
screw 1/2 turn and the other 2 screws 1 turn. My idle suddenly smoothed
out and sounded great. Me and Rich took a test drive and no more idle
dips. My RPMs drop perfectly to the right idle speed every time. The last
test came when starting my engine cold. No more surging! So my car now
runs the best it has in 2 years. I realize those screws are talked about
alot on this list but it seems with each 25  year old engine some may need
more air then others. All I know is my engine now runs perfect. Thanks
guys.

Moral of the story is for some the 3 brass screws may help you after all.
