high idle
i have an 88 wrangler yj and it starts fine but idles very high at
first. for the first 10 or 15 minutes it will idle at almost 3000 rpms when either in nuetral or when clutch is in. when i have the clutch in half way it will idle at half that. when i put it in gear it will take off as i gradually let off the clutch because the rpms are so high. when the clutch is completely off the rpms are fine. when i looked at the carburetor the choke was totaly open and there was a lot of gas squirting out for just idling. i closed the choke a little bit by hand and the rpms dropped but the gas was still coming out at the same rate, as soon as i would let go the choke would open back up and idle at 3000 again. i have the 4.2 liter straight 6. anyone with an idea is greatly appreciated. |

Re: high idle
If the choke is open and it's still idling that high, it sounds like
the fast idle cam is stuck. Look over by the idle speed adjustment screws on the left side. I think you'll find the fast idle screw sitting on the top step of the fast idle cam.

Re: high idle
Buy a rebuild kit for the carburetor, then disconnect the fast idle step
motor, via the "Nutter bypass": http://home.sprynet.com/~dale02/ignmods.htm#diagram http://www.----------.com/mirror/nutterbypass.htm http://www.off-road.com/jeep/jnutter1.htm God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ "88yj" <scrrules11@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1179071833.164687.253540@h2g2000hsg.googlegro ups.com... > i have an 88 wrangler yj and it starts fine but idles very high at > first. for the first 10 or 15 minutes it will idle at almost 3000 > rpms when either in nuetral or when clutch is in. when i have the > clutch in half way it will idle at half that. when i put it in gear > it will take off as i gradually let off the clutch because the rpms > are so high. when the clutch is completely off the rpms are fine. > when i looked at the carburetor the choke was totaly open and there > was a lot of gas squirting out for just idling. i closed the choke a > little bit by hand and the rpms dropped but the gas was still coming > out at the same rate, as soon as i would let go the choke would open > back up and idle at 3000 again. i have the 4.2 liter straight 6. > anyone with an idea is greatly appreciated. > -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
