idle speed of my SEL 450 6.9

Hey guys,

can anybody help me? I think I need to set my idle speed a little higher, unless 600 rpm is normal... But I do not find the idle needle or screw...

thnx

Phil

that's where mine idles, in drive, not a problem for me, is there a reason you want it to idle faster? is it stalling ?

600 is fine. The idle adjuster is a large (about 15 mm dia) straight screw at the front top of the engine behind and above the distributor. Bill Ditmire Ditmire Motorworks,Inc. 425 White Horse Pike Absecon,NJ 08201

Muchas gracias...

No, the engine is not stalling, but I constantly think it's gonna stall. And the whole car rocks along with the engine at that such a low speed, and I thought this is not the intention... but I kinda like it though :) I think I'll leave it like this...

thanx guys
