idle rpm's

[night_s12]

So it idles at about 1k. Im just wondering if just turning the dizzy would be the best way to get it back to 700 to 750 where it should be.  Cause i dont have a timing gun so i cant just redo the timing

You shouldn't touch the dizzy
Th best way is to turn the idle screw on IACV

...get yourself a timing gun so you can play with advancing it properly/safely..the vg30 responds great to timing adjustments...craigslist is great for picking up used tools for cheap but its not really that expensive for a basic gun.

Harbor freight had great deals on timing guns if u want I can email you a few cupons

[night_s12]

Coupons are always welcome lol ill have to wait for employment to get one tho. Idling a little high isnt gonna hurt the motor right? I jist wanna make sure

The $13 timing light from harbor freight works like a charm, but you will probably need to pop off the upper rad fan shroud to see the timing marks on the crank pulley. No harm in loosening the dist. mounting bolt & rotating the dist. a small amount in either direction while the car is running to see if it smooths out your idle. (rotating it CW advances the timing). When smoother idle is obtained then adjust idle speed to about 850-900 with car idling in neutral. Then go back & adjust the timing to spec. using the light. You might have to repeat all the steps a few times & remember that the specs are plus or minus a very small amount so you can tune for what seems to work best or smoothest. You should also remove the dust cover from the crank angle sensor inside the dist. & carefully wipe off any dust bunnies & verify that the holes in the disc are all cleared out.
