idle.

Post by plank22 »

Finally with the help of this forum I got my 3.9 started up on the first turn of the key! :D :D :D woooop! woooop! But a few things need tweaking, first of all the idle is really really lumpy. I know some injection cars that when the ECU looses power they reset and when power is restored they start up ok but the idle is really lumpy untill they kinda re-program them selves over a short amount of time, is this the same with the 3.9 hot wire? Also when my electric fan kicks in the engine will stall, unless you set the idle screw so the engine is idling sky high. Any ides? the obvious one is the idle control valve i guess?

take the idle control valve off and make sure it isn't full of goo. This goes for the ports as well as they can get all clogged too.
