Idle issue w/ 16valve 1.6
The original problem was the engine would idle around 1500 rpm while coasting. Once I finally came to a stop would idle down to 800-1000. Pulled instake tube and cleaned throttle body, didn't look too bad but since it was apart I cleaned it. Reassembled and engine would idle 1500 to 2000. Inspected all hoses for leaks - none...that I found. I turned the idle adjustment down til it idled around 800 and bottomed the screw. It's in an 87 samurai w/ Sidekick 5speed. I just bought it and am getting it ready for duty, so I don't know if the "sensor" light works. I did a cold start and will hang around 1000 - 1100 rpm not the usual 1500 til warm. Was this the right thing to do? Still runs good. Also, are there any engine numbers that will help find out what year it is.... for parts reasons? Thanks
