Can anybody tell me how i can turn the tick over up on my preface(00) 3.0 omega, it currently ticks over at about 500rpms to me thats way to low so i need to turn it up to about 800rpm, any help would be magic

[serek]

most of v6 keep at 500-550 rpm, is different to R4 round 750-900rpm

[RobG]

500-600 is the norm.

to me its too low and needs turning up a smidge

you need find someone local with tech2 for this job

[Bent valve]

It should be fine and smooth at 500. Its probably not running right

looks like i will have to plug my machine in to then and turn it up

it some times feels like it wants to cut out but doesnt,
it still runs ok and no eml is on

[TheBoy]

It should be a shade under 500 with A/C off, and around 550-600 with A/C on.  If its not, or its lumpy at that, you should really be fixing the problem, not the symptom


Idle is controlled by ECU, and you'll need to set the idle offset via the ECU.  But I repeat, this is a bodge, not a fix.

Put a brick on the accelerator pedal

There is a screw on the main intake carb where the cable is see if that has come lose, some times with the constane movement it came come lose or even chip a little of the arm off, it holds the idle. would check that, has flate screw head and an 8m nut on it, if never been tuched before will have a cap on it, the ajustment dose wear out with the costant hitting from the throttle and then be ajusted up again

This screw is NOT an idle adjustment. The main throttles should be fully closed during idling. All idle air has to pass through the idle air valve, or it will idle lumpy.

I wouldn't touch this screw unless the throttle isn't closing fully (idle would be too fast in this case) or it's jamming closed.

no it would  had it on my one  the pin wears out and knock out the idle, had it serviced and this is what they did sorted out the idle, happens on every engine, especially if you keep dropping the throttle letting it go up fast act like a hammer and wears it away, and its easy to sort out your self. meta on metal were out.

I can't agree - even with the pin missing, the idle wouldn't be affected.

At idle, the throttle flaps are fully closed regardless, with the idle being contolled by the ECU, via the ICV....
