Title: throudle/idle control adj.
Post by: james on August 19, 2007, 14:44:48

let's not discuss who I got here.......?? let's just say I need help badly...
I have disonnected the throudle control on the side of the pump and
now I am way out of adjustment???? the spring is off the whole thing
is a mess. I have no one to help, except a haynes manual.
Please help. I need to get this arm back on and the shaft it rides on
in the correct position.
Help Jim

Jim,

Sorry to hear about your trouble.  Here are some pics I took of my car. I hope they help.  I've not taken the linkage off the pump myself but I'll be happy to help all I can.

Good luck

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a pdf file about linkage adjustments for our cars.  It's too big to send here.

Yu can't fix this yourself despite advice that says you can. It's one of those things that you should never touch like a nest of killer bees.
Take the pump off and have it calibrated or rebuilt depending on what it needs.
