[QUOTE="MattInARedMicra, post: 775587, member: 32478"] So with a bit of research done but still not really understanding, rotating the distributor to advance the timing doesn't affect idle speed? When I swapped them I was fairly confident I had it the same as the old one, but I changed for an aftermarket one and they didn't line up exactly the same like a OEM-for-OEM swap would have One site said to advance the idle on the throttlebody by warming the car up fully and then locating an adjustment screw. Can anyone show me a picture of the location of the idle adjustment screw? I figure I can just leave everything as it is with the distributor and turn the adjustment screw up a scooch. I don't know what I'm doing with timing and I don't want to advance it too much and create knock or go the other way and have no power or bad fuel economy or whatever... but I can't keep my foot resting on the gas at traffic lights it's driving me mad having to not only do that but to fight with the gears every gear change also (see other thread lol) [/QUOTE]
