Throttle Body w/ idle adj. screw??
Wednesday, April 20, 2005 9:29 PM
Hey all...

Does anyone know of any throttle bodies w/ an idle adjustment screw that will fit on my 97 2.4?

I guess it would have to be a little older....

Thanks!

Doesn't matter really, the computer controls the idle, if the screw is out more, then it just closes the IAC more to compensate.

Thats just the reason I need it....

Im looking at a standalone for the car- the computer won't be controlling it anymore.

Drill a hole and use a needle valve if you can't find anything.

most stand alones will control idle


but all the tb's have a set screw that is used as the stop for the throttle

you can up the idle with the screw, the pcm can only close the iac so far, before it hits bottom

Its called SETTING THE BASE IDLE

I'm not real sure...

I just know my friend says I need a TB w/ an idle adjustment screw because the standalone I am looking at does not control idle...

If its as easy as just putting a valve on the TB- then I might go that route.

what standalone are you looking at? are you trying to save some loot by going with a program for a carb?

don't know. if you can't fine the throttle body you could set the pintle on the IAC to where you need it and unplug the wiring connector. definatly not a total cure for the problem though.
