If the pin is good the engine should idle very smooth when its properly adjusted no matter what the temperature. If it is going bad you can get a variety of issues like the engine's idle becoming unstable when slowing down (mine began doing this a while ago) or when first driving the engine will hunt for its idle at stop lights going up and down and up and down (oil pressure gauge will bounce up and down too) The most noticeable and annoying symptom is that the engine shakes back and forth when the engine is idling when its nice and warmed up, a good pin should keep the engine steady no matter what. I tried fine tuning the pin for about 20 mins with the engine hot, and my pin does virtually nothing at all, plus my idle becomes unstable when stopping and the engine shudders and feels like its about to stall then it recovers...its getting very very annoying and is not pleasant.
