Here we go again - high idle...

Right - I've put up with a 1700rpm idle for long enough... so I spent most of Saturday trying to track it down.

I have checked every vacuum pipe end to end - no leaks.
The famous 'rubber bungs' are in place and intact.
I changed the DV for a Forge dual piston one.

When I screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, the idle drops to 1300rpm - which is better but not good enuff :evil: . There has to be something else...

I checked the connections to the MAF - no probs there as far as I can see.

Is this likely to be being caused by having a K&N and Goose on... i.e. it's impossible to adjust the idle low enuff to compensate for the extra flow??

Any thing else I need to check?

Cheers

hi,you don't say if youv'e checked the idle with the cable disconnected.iv'e had one with the cable over adjusted.then check the rods on the mechanism for correct adjustment.
