NewZed Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 There's two, at least, really nice drawings in the FSM, one in Engine Maintenance and one in Engine Fuel. Shows a screwdriver stuck "in a hose" to adjust idle speed. Could be that someone has removed yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 You're looking at the 1982 FSM? It doesn't show what the other guy has. I looked. www.xenons130.com/reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Its on the side of the intake, just behind the throttle body. will look just like the picture on the bottom right of the page that cgsheen posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have the 79 to 83 FSM THERE IS NO SUCH BOOK! FSM's are BY YEAR. What you got ain't an FSM, and you probably should follow the example of cgsheen and NewZed and get one from the free download site. BluDestiny describes it perfectly, right on the side of the intake manifold aft to the throttle body. It's bolted there, and is easily removed so you can adapt it to other vehicles that need an idle speed screw when doing EFI Conversions. I used it on my turbo EFI conversion, as well as a couple VW's and likely my Corvair when the time comes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedminded Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Alright ill search some more and I guess I have the right FSM but its just confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
