I’ve been messing with the high idle speed on my K30 for a few days now that it’s getting cooler out.
Engine is a 454 and factory carb has been replaced with a Edelbrock 1406.
A while back, Craig85 provides me with the correct idle speeds for my configuration: 700 and 1900 (high)
It seems as though my idle speed fluctuates a bit, usually between 650 and 750, but it runs well enough.
The high idle speed is another story. If I set it at 1900 it will slowly climb to 22/2300 before getting to operating temp. At that point I have to “blip” the throttle to make the engine drop to normal idle.
Is this the manner in which a high idle is supposed to work or should it stay where I set it? Also, should the engine speed drop on its own once it’s to temp?
Thanks,
Eric
