Increasing Idle
Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2010 2:26 pm
Is there an easy way to increase the idle speed of the motor?
I have replaced my alternator and the new alternator has a larger pulley on it that the original. Larger pulley means the alternator spins slower at idle but also reduces the load on the motor.
I am happy with the alternator so, is there a way to bump up the idle to say 1000 rpm so that I get a bit more juice out of it at idle? I have tried the idle adjustment screw but the ECU adjusts the stepper motor and timing to compensate.
