[DMCForum] Re: Timing and Idle correlation

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hm. Dang, was it you asking which terminals to hook the dwell meter 
up to? I forgot to answer that post. I don't have the book in front 
of me, but it was either 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Not everyone's socket is in the bracket the same way. The way mine is 
oriented, it's the 2 farthest left contacts and they are the 2 
farthest away from you. In other words there's 3 per column and the 
one contact closest to you is not used during this procedure. If you 
hook up and the needle doesn't move just reverse them. One of them is 
only a ground and you can just ground to the block if you want (or so 
I've been told).

There's that and a few other things you can check for this. Throttle 
linkage retracting all the way? Cable isn't getting hung up at the 
end is it? You heard how Walt's car was idling around 2200 because 
his idle thermistor plug came off or somesuch. 

In fact, I believe it was checksix who pointed Walt in that 
direction. He has seems to have all the answers. You should probably 
ask him. My skills in any field are poor at best and apparently 
people on the list just laugh at me behind my back anyway.
