Re: Idle problems

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Ok well just to start things off right.. You need  a Bentley manual. Get one 
and read it. Second the "idle adjustment screw" that you refer to is 
actually the throttle stop screw. This should be adjusted so that the 
throttle plates dont bind. THATS ALL IT'S THERE FOR. It is not an idle 
adjustment screw. If you are adjusting your idle with anything other than a 
7mm wrench/socket then you are doing it wrong. And lastly you should check 
your cam belt timing marks as per Bentley. HTH.
