Idle Speed Adjustment
NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear
shift lever in “Neutral”, and set parking brake
and block drive wheels.
Before idle speed check and adjustment, make
sure of the following.
l Lead wires and hoses of engine emission
control systems are connected securely.
l Accelerator cable has some play, that is, it is
not tight.
l All vacuum hoses are connected securely.
l Fuel level should be within round mark at the
center of level gauge.
l Valve lash is checked and adjusted according
to the maintenance schedule.
l Air cleaner has been properly installed and is
in good condition.
l All accessories (wipers, heater, lights, etc) are
out of service.
l Ignition timing is within specification.
l Idle up actuator is not operating when engine
is running at idle speed.
NOTE:
In areas above 4,00Ofeet( 1,220m) elevation
(high altitude), idle up system will be normally
in operation. Do not attempt to adjust the idle
speed.
After above items are all confirmed, adjust idle
speed as follows.
1) Warm up engine to normal operating tempe-
rature.
2) Check to ensure that idle speed is within
750 - 850 r/min (rpm).
3) If idle speed is not within specified range,
adjust by turning idle speed adjusting screw.
If idle speed can not be adjusted to the speci-
fication by turning the adjusting screw, it can
be due to faulty return of throttle valve or
some other reason. Determine cause and
repair, and then adjust idle speed to specifica-
tion.

[Idle Mixture Adjustment]
The carburetor has been calibrated at the facto-
ry and. should not normally need adjustment in
the field. For this reason, the mixture adjust-
ment should never be changed from the original
factory setting. However, if during diagnosis, the
check indicates the carburetor to be the cause of
a driver performance complaint or emission
failure, or the carburetor is overhauled or
replaced, the idle mixture can be adjusted using
the following procedure.
After adjustment, mixture adjusting screw pin
must be installed.
Idle mixture adjustment procedure is as follows:
1) Remove carburetor from intake manifold
following normal service procedure to gain
access to mixture adjusting screw pin covering
mixture adjusting screw.
2) Drive out mixture adjusting screw pin using
about 4.5 mm (0.18 in) thick iron rod as

[Checking idle-up signal]
The idle-up system operates when any of the small lights (such as tail light, side marker light and license
light), heater fan and rear defogger is put in operation. If the idle-up actuator fails to operate even when
any of such equipments is put in operation, check if signal is sent to the ECM according to the following
procedure.
1) Disconnect the coupler from the ECM.
2) Turn ON the ignition switch but don’t run the engine.
3) Connect a voltmeter between the @ terminal and the body (ground) as shown in below figure. If the
voltmeter indicates 11 - 14V when each equipment is operated individually, it means that idle-up
signal is sent to the ECM.
If the voltmeter does not indicate 11- 14V, the particular circuit is disconnected or in poor contact.
Check the circuit for such conditions.
4) After checking, connect the coupler to ECM securely.
