What is a rough baseline adjustment for the screw in the throttle body? how far should it be backed off from fully closed ?. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) I think mine is so far off it's causing other problems. Also, how many "clicks" from stopped should the box be. Thanks.

The brain isn't something you can just say '5 clicks'.. someone can explain that better... mine is about in the middle of travel, and it's set just a click higher than it needs to be.

Your idle may hunt if it's low (lean)

Now, the idle adjustment is easy, it's screwed out enough to keep the idle @ 950rpm... but..

to test, you must warm the car up fully, and defeat the AAR (search here if you are unfamiliar) by plugging (with a stopper) the INTAKE hose feeding it, after removing that end of the hose from your airbox.

If your AAR is in any failure mode that keeps it partially open, it won't be right. (unmetered air, high idle, with idle adjust screwed in all the way)

What's the symptoms?
