Re: [DML] Idle problem

["Dave Sontos" <dsontos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dani,
I just got another members idle motor running again that had been stuck. The
PO adjusted the idle using the microswitch screw. The trick here is to
remove the motor from the car. Turn it upside down and liberally spray WD40
inside the valve. Let it soak a little then using two jumper wires, one
hooked to the battery post in the engine compartment and one hooked to a
ground on the engine, alternate touching the two outside terminals on the
motor. This makes the motor open and close and works the WD40 into the
motor. Continue opening and closing the valve until it operates smoothly.
For a really stuck motor I've also removed the hex set screw on top and
flooded that with WD40 to loosen it. This is a last resort because the
setscrew positions the valve in the motor and then you have to reset the
screw after you get the motor working again.
