[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] Idle Switch Adjusting - How?
Installed a new idle and full throttle switch over the weekend on my 88 80q. On my old switch when I moved the throttle about .5mm, I would get infinite ohms. This was testing on pin 1 and 2 (2 and 3 gives infinte at 85% open which did'nt occur on old switch). I don't get it. Bentley says: "...measurement is made with a feeler gauge between the throttle valve stop and the adjustment screw. Resistance should change from 0 ohms (throttle closed) to infinte ohms as throttle gap increases beyond 0.5mm. If no adjust idle switch (gap a) " Then it shows a picture which seems to confuse me even more. What's confusing me is should there be a gap between the adjustment screw and the throttle valve? Right now the screw is touching the valve. Bentley also says the stop screw is set at the factory and should not be moved. So to adjust this, do I adjust the stop screw (which is a no! no!) or the idle switch which is very hard to get at and took me about an hour to install. mohammedb@sa15wpoa.us-state.gov 88 80q
