'96, '97 Dl6Y5. '96 - 00 Dl5Y8 sngine with M/T
NOTE:
. Before setting the idle speed, check the following
items:- The MIL has not been reported on.- lgnition timing- Spark plugs- Air cleaner- PCV system
o (Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm withno load (taansmission in neutral) until the radiatorfan comes on, then let it idle.
2. Connect a tachometer.
3. Disconnect the IAC valve connector.
4.lf the engine stalls, restart the engine with the accel-
erator pedal slightly depressed. Stabilize the rpm at1,000, then slowly release the pedal until the engineidles.
Check idling in no-load conditionsr headlights. blowerfan. rear defogger, radiator fan, and air conditioner
are not operating.
ldle spsed should be:
450 1 50 rpm
11-220
Adjust the idle speed, if necessary, by removing thecap and turning the idle adjusting screw.
NOTE; After adjusting the idle speed in this step,recheck the ignition timing (see section 23).
lf it is out of spec, go back to step 4.
IDLE
6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Reconnect the 2P connector on the IAC valve, then
do the ECM reset procedure.
8. Restart and idle the engine with no-load conditionsfor one minute, then check the idle speed.
NOTE: (Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up.Start the engine, then check that the headlights areoff.
