Hi Guy, just had converter installed yesterday my car runs better, it didn't have one on it at all,I have a 1988 volvo 740 gl
My question is how do I idle the car,it is running real low on idle,like on that dash below the 1 on the rpm..I guess like 300-400,When Ihold the throttle up a ;ittle the car runs just fine, but how do I adjust this.I see a little screw but it has no head to turn it,on the top or the bottom.Please help..Please show picture if you have.

Default RE: Idling low

The idle is pretty much set by the computer.The first thing I would do is remove the throttle body and clean good.I would also remove and clean the idle motor good as well.The idle motor is located under the intake.It looks like a shiny cylinder with 2 hoses going to it and a plug.
