The knob on the ECU, I thought, is used to adjust the mixture of fuel/air?
I have it all the way clockwise, but changing it appears to not give any noticeable difference in the way the engine runs. Trying to chase a bad cold idle and trying to eliminate that as a possibility. Can someone educate me in the proper usage of that knob and what effect rotating clockwise/counter-clockwise will have? Thanks |

Yep! The throttle position sensor must be properly set before the idle mixture screw wil make any difference. ECU knob will not make any difference in the way it runs, but a maladjust on the TPS will! Your crappy cold idle is more likely to be the head temp sensor.
