    Hi All,

    Had a few things done yesterday, fuel filter replaced, adn the wiring replaced coming into ECU, as she was runnign dead rich...anyways, it now idles at 1000 rpm - is this too fast? Previous to the repair, it idled at ~800 rpm... is this something ECU adjusts, or can it be done manually? And is 1000 rpm correct, or 800?

    Thanks in advance.

    1000 is a bit too high, 800 is just right.
    Its adjusted on the throttle body.

    Yeah check firstly the tension of the throttle cable, if its too tight it will hold the butterfly open slightly.
    There is a screw on the T'Body(can't remeber where, its been a while since i had a g60)just have a look can't be many, just try turning one until it adjusts the idle [:s]
