Idle speed adjusting screw
S03529-11
The idle setting of the throttle valve body substantially influences
the vehicle’s starting behavior, a stable idle speed, and the vehi-
cle’s response when the throttle is opened.
An engine with a correctly set idle speed is easier to start than an
engine with the idle speed set incorrectly.
The idle speed is adjusted using the idle speed adjusting
screw
1
.
Info
If the idle speed is high, the engine is slow to run, the
engine brake is low and the throttle response is aggressive,
the adjustment screw must be turned clockwise.
If the idle speed is low, the engine is running fast, the
engine brake is high and the throttle response is not clean,
the adjusting screw must be turned counterclockwise.
