Re: new cat & higher idle

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

It's not a matter of what to adjust and how to do it. When the car is 
correctly set up the idle is non-adjustable. My guess is that the 
motor was not correctly idling before you did the cat, it's just more 
noticeable now. The idle computer automatically sets the idle speed if 
everything is correctly set-up and connected. See the Workshop Manual 
for the correct procedures for the idle. Make sure the idle switch is 
being activated and is working when the throttle spool hits it at 
idle. Use a meter to verify it electrically, don't count on the click. 
Make sure the 3 brass screws are LIGHTLY seated. Make sure there are 
no vacuum leaks. Make sure that the throttle is fully returned to idle 
and it is smooth and not sticking. Check the timing.
