Hello all...
The vehicle in question is a 1984 Plymouth Reliant with the 2.6L Mitsubishi engine. It runs and drives, but the problem is that the engine is idling way, way too fast. It also diesels a LOT at shutdown, although that may be due to some very stale gasoline that I'm trying to get rid of as time allows.
There has been a lot of headway made on this problem...but I'm not there yet. The choke is fixed and I invested in a Chilton's service manual for
1981-95 FWD Chrysler automobiles. Said manual talks of an idle speed adjustment screw, and even has an illustration. Trouble is, I can find no such screw, or even really tell what the illustration is pointing out. It isn't a very good illustration.So how can I go about getting the idle speed down to something more reasonable? Is there a *good* guide that explains what all the various bits of stuff on the carburetor are for?
