I didn't read the link but is it about the throttle stop screw? I have one of the two throttle stop screws "backed off" so that only one screw affects the idle..

JBastida Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 It's about throttle idle screw. I suspected the meaning was unscrew, but I was not sure. Thank you very much indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yes......You go in the opposite direction e.g. "backing off the throttle" , etc........ 99% of all fasteners are r.h. thread...when you unscrew a fastener, you back off from it's last positon.....

JBastida Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Another question concerning the TPS Set up an Throttle Balance Tuning tutorial: At the begining of the procedure is writen that right throttle idle screw should be backed off. After that all actions are performed with left throttle idle screw, and nothing else is writen concerning right throttle idle screw. What should be done with it at the end of the procedure? I asume backed off is not its final position.... so.... should I screw it in till it contact with the piece it has just in front. This way both idle screws would be exactly in the same position, holding up the springs in idle position (when throttle conpletely closed) Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english. Best regads.

Tom M Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It's OK to leave the right side throttle stop screw backed off, or you can screw it in until it almost touches the throttle. Many use a thin feeler guage to get it close. If you screw it in too much you will remove tension from the throttle linkage which can throw off your throttle body synchronization and your TPS setting at idle.

JBastida Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thankyou very much Tom! You are very clear. I'll try to screw it until it touches the throttle using the thinest feeler gauge, as both idle screws were touching the throttle boddies until now. Best regards.

docc Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Why even make it close? The intent of the procedure is to defeat the right screw entirely. Other balancing methods employ both screws, but the posted procedure eliminates it. For that matter, it could be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBastida Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'll try to explain my thinking in a few words: Once throttles bodies are balanced, there are two throttle springs pushing towards idle screws. I asume it is better, in order to keep as long as possible the correct idle setup and balance, to counteract this pressure with two screws insted of one, as this way both screws distribute pressure, otherwise left idle screw holds up all pressure by itself? That is the only reason why I think it could be better this way. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this, and thanks for asking the question Snr Bastida: I've just been working on my TPS and TB and struggling with the concept of the right throttle stop screw and what it does. Like nipples on men I guess... there just in case. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBastida Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nipples on men? just in case? what? We'll have to ask to italian ingeneers. I supose it is a far away understanding from our poor kwnolege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
