Curb idle refers to the engine's idle speed when a vehicle is parked and the engine is running, typically with the vehicle's transmission in the "park" or "neutral" position. This setting is important for ensuring that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently while the vehicle is stationary. Curb idle can be influenced by factors such as engine temperature, fuel mixture, and air intake, and is often adjusted during engine tuning or maintenance to meet manufacturer specifications.
try adjusting the ignition timing(or getting a mechanic to do it)
To adjust the curb idle on a 1984 Mercury Grand Marquis, locate the idle speed adjustment screw on the throttle body. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Use a tachometer to measure the RPM, then turn the idle speed adjustment screw clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the idle speed, aiming for the recommended RPM specified in the owner's manual. Finally, recheck the idle speed after adjustments to ensure it’s within the correct range.
There is usually a solenoid that boosts the idle when A/C is turned on. If the car stalls when solenoid disengaged; the curb idle adjustment is off. Find the screw and give it a half-turn CW. Or, sometimes the end of the solenoid is the curb-idle adjustment . Put a wrench on it and try giving It a half-turn clock wise.
timing should be set with chip disabled(curb idle)
Curb idle speed refers to the engine RPM (revolutions per minute) at which a vehicle idles when it is stationary and in gear, typically measured with the vehicle's transmission in the "Drive" position. This speed is crucial for ensuring that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently while allowing for a minimal amount of power to be sent to the wheels, preventing the vehicle from moving. Proper curb idle speed can enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. It is often specified by the vehicle manufacturer and can vary between different makes and models.
Carb needs curb idle adjusted or rebuild.
its in the troudle fuel injection body if its factory there should be a white plug in it. The computer controls it. It has a little valvue in it that moves in and out for more air or less air. That's gives curb idle speed.
The computer in your vehicle controls idle (base and curb). When the battery was disconnected the computer lost memory of the set idle. The car needs to re-learn the idle specs, sometimes can be done by driving for around 15-20 minutes. If not you will need to see a mitsu dealer and have a multi scanner hooked up to reset the idle.
disconnect vacumn advance hose, bring down to curb idle, connect timing light to the # 1 spark plug wire, loosen distibutor and adjust as necessary
A yellow curb means no parking along that curb.
