Idle Test, Adjustment



Listing of Test Steps
1 Test equipment:
Connect/disconnect.
2.0 Throttle control linkage:
Check throttle valve for free movement and condition.
Lubricate bearings, gate levers and ball sockets.
2.1 Idle stop:
Check, adjust.
3 Ignition timing with and without vacuum
Engine: at Idle:
Check Test and Adjustment Data [Specifications]
4 Engine rpm (at idle):
Check
5 On-off ratio control:
Check
6 CTP speed under load:
Check in TR "D" (with service and parking brake applied) and with all consumers turned ON.
