I understand that there's plenty of "how do I adjust my idle" threads, but none specific to my inquiry.
my 93 talon is an auto transmission. Unfortunately the VFAQ and any other write-ups on 1G idle adjustment seem to go out of there way to specify they're for manual transmissions. If I follow it and adjust my PARK idle to 750 +- 100, when I'm in DRIVE it'll slump down to 500 rpm and I therefore lose a crap ton of voltage because my alternator isn't being run at a high enough rate. I get incredibly dull dash lights and can audibly hear a difference in my stereo between stopped at a light and accelerating/driving.
Currently, just to get it at 900-1000 RPM in DRIVE I have to set PARK idle at about 1500. This also insures I actually get voltage from my alt as well when stopped in DRIVE. Is there something specific that I need to follow for setting auto idle?
Thanks to everyone in advance.
