Possible Idle Control Adjustment repair related
When I picked up my 82/83 euro 500 sec from the shop
I asked if they had noticed the ICV was an airslide not electroniic They said they had noticed. So I asked if it would be any problem & they said it would not be. I mentioned being concerned as the car in drive was spec 650 rpm but I thought the AC could lower the rpm with possible problems. My mechanic told me to turn something to increase idle if it was too low. I thought he meant the air slide valve but now I think it looks like it could be the yellow valve with a screwdriver indentation on top? I finally tried the Ac while driving & the 600 rpm drops to almost 500 I should call the mechanic but obviously he thought me capablr of doing it & I thought I knew what part he was referring to but now I;m not sure. Would turning the circled valved increase/decrease idle? I will have to check but since I got the car back the car is idling lower sometimes close to 500 esp w AC It used to idle fine in drive but after the new plugs, wires, thermal vacumn valve switch & acumulator & possible adjustment of this circled valve I;ll have to check its curreent position against the pics of the prior valve position & get it back to where it was. He seemed to know that the idle of a car w a airslide valve was supposed to be higher in park at startup & he didn't mention adjusting the idle down so not sure how the work done lowered the idle. Would I have to turn it counter clockwise to increaase rpm? It looks like it was more 10 oclock ish & now its like 11 ish? Thanks I'll probably take it back when I get a chance to get it straight but in meantime I would like to know what to do if I run into a probllem... Thanks
