If you have a stock TB there isn't a way to adjust the idle.

Edit: Are you experiencing a problem? Just a note: You can adjust the idle by adjusting the throttle cable, depending on what you're trying to accomplish... but that's generally not recommended.

 

yeah I accidently adjusted mine after I put in my stage IV......almost gave me a heart attack when trying to bring the car to a stop when i went on a post install test run.

 

Yeah there isn't really any way to adjust the idle speed. The ECU will adapt and keep it within it's specified range.

 

if anything, check your throttle cable. if there is any slack, just tighten it a little bit. I did it on my old honda, just to remove the "granny" slack.

 

Well I'm not really looking to improve my throttle response, but rather bump my rpm speed up a little at idle.

Anyway - I thought I read somewhere that you can remove that little white plastic plug on the intake side of the TB and there is an adjustment screw underneath it. So is it that you can adjust it, but the ECU will just readjust the IAC to compensate... or can you not adjust it at all?

 

Ive got the same problem too, i did my IM and cleaned my TB and now im idling at 3k. So do i just adjust my cables or what?

 

how do you go about adjusting the throttle cables?

 

think i got bigger problems than that now but you do that by adjusting the nuts on the cables to theTB. Tighten them and increase throttle, decrease and lowers it....im pretty sure from what ive been hearing.

 

The idle speed actuator (ISA) creates a vacumn leak to control the idle, so it would seem that would be the place to start, but like you said, the ecu may compensate. It would seem to me that adjusting it by the throttle cable, you're putting enough tension on the cable to open the butterfly enough to raise the idle. I assume that may hold, because when we installed sofakingrich's blower last weekend, we had a high idle (1100) until I readjusted the slack in the throttle cable. I have a mafterburner Tyler, and I know you have one and I think also an SAFC(2) which I'm not familair with. Are there any throttle bumps you can perform on a piggy back?

When you cleaned your TB, did you remove the 2 sensors (TPS & ISA)? A corrosive cleaner can damage them, and removing the TPS throws the voltage off and it needs to be realigned on the TB.

 

Factory service manual says NOT to adjust the idle.

 

and the factory says not to listen to loud as to distract u from driving!

 

The only way to adjust the idle would be to reflash the ECU....and since we don't seem to be able to do that here yet, you're SOL, my friend. If you try to manually adjust the idle, the ECU will bring it back down to the specified range and/or generate a code for idle speed out of range. Can I ask what you're trying to accomplish?

This is what happened, actually my dad was helping me with the install and dropped a piece off the TB. So i took it into a shop and they found the problem and fixed it. Now its sweet..

Question, anyone have a BBTB that is good for the I4 tib.
