 Subject: Idle speed control
IP: Logged
Message:
The push rod on my idle speed control motor asy. is broken off and the guy I bought the truck off of had the stop wired so it would not stall.
Until I can get the money for a new idle speed control and motor asy, I put a threaded plate with a bolt mounted to the bracket to keep the idel up, I screw the bolt in or out to set idle.
My question is what is the normal idle speed?
1991 Dak. with standard 5 speed tranny.
My haynes book does not mention the idle speed, the sticker under the hood says idle is not adjustable and does not mention the speed.

I'm not sure on what it is suppose to be but 850 or 900 would be a good rpm too set it at. My 91 idled around 850 back when it was fuel injected.

Thanks Mike, the bolt and threaded "rube goldburg" thing I made works but when I set the idle to about 800 RPM when enging is cold, all is good.
But after the engine reaches full heat it is racing, so I reduce the idle back down to about 800-900 RPM, when it is cold it just barely runs and I have to keep foot on gas untill it warms up.
Guess I will have to buy the idle speed motor asy.
Being a standary tranny I did not think it would be needed, I am used to working on the old cars like my 1970 Dodge Polara.
