RE: [DML] Cold Idle Problem

["Joseph Kuchan" <josephkuchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should start by readjusting the throttle to the proper position. You 
will never fix it if you make "masking" adjustments, although I know you did 
that just to get by with the intention of fixing it properly at this time. 
By turning the throttle adjusting screw you almost certainly reduced the 
amount of vacuum the engine produces. That can affect your braking, among 
other things, so start by getting that set properly.

Next have a look at the idle speed motor and its controls.
