FAULT DIAGNOSIS

BASE IDLE SPEED SETTING

NOTE: Base idle speed is set at factory. It
should not require further adjustment
unless plenum chamber is changed. The

adjustment screw is sealed with a plug to prevent
unauthorised alteration. Check ignition timing
before attempting following procedure, since this
will affect idle speed.

Equipment required

Two blanking hoses. these are manufactured using
a new air by-pass valve hose - Part No.ETC7874. Cut
two equal pieces 90mm long from hose and seal one
end of each, using 13mm diameter bar. Use a suitable
clamp to ensure an air tight seal.

Checking procedure

1. Drive vehicle at least two miles until engine and

transmission are hot. Switch off engine.

2. Check all electrical loads are OFF, including air

conditioning.

3. Remove air by-pass valve hose.

4. Fit blanking hoses to both plenum chamber and

air by-pass valve. Ensure hoses are securely
fitted to prevent air leaks. Note throttle cable and
cruise control actuator have been omitted from
illustration.

5. Start engine and check idle speed is within

limits.

Adjusting base idle speed

6. Drill tamper proof plug and insert a self tapping

screw to enable plug to be extracted.

7. Start engine, adjust idle screw clockwise to

decrease or counter-clockwise to increase idle
speed.

8. Stop engine, remove blanking hoses. Reconnect

hose to plenum.

9. Fit new tamper proof plug.
