hey guys,
can someone please tell me how to adjust my idle? where is the screw located?
is it safe to adjust the idle or should i not touch it? i know it should be set at approx 8500rpm but i would like to adjust mine to try make it a bit smoother.

thanks

i think u might mean 850rpm. 8500 sounds a little to high to me. sorry though i cant help u , prolly reccommend going to a mechanic to get it done properly though.

The base idle screw is located on the drivers side inlet manifold mate, if you look down behind the cam cover you'll see a big flat head screw going into the manifold and a hose coming off the back of it thats the base idle adjustment screw mate.
