Default Idle timing on 1991 940

Just got a 1991 940 - on starting idling at very low speed - sometimes engine cuts out - can anybody tell me where idle timing can be adjusted before I start looking. - Thanks

Default RE: Idle timing on 1991 940

Hello mate,

Greetings from Narita, Japan.

Sorry to hear about the idle problem.

As to the idle speed & ignition timing, I believe 940, like almost all modern cars, are controlled electronically; means you cannot adjust them.

Is the Check Engine Light on? If not, the problem may be as simple as the car's needing basic tune-up.

Also, please note that I'm an 850 driver and am not knowledgeable on 940s. So, post this question in the 940 forum; there must be quite a few experts there who can help you better than I possibly could.

Cheers,


JPN
