Adjust the TPS, not the throttle cable or set screws. A higher TPS voltage will have a higher target idle duty.

Whoa. Hold on a second. I'm not entirely sure you are correct.

To my understanding, the TPS is to let your computer know when it is on idle or off of it.

That is pretty much it. If you mal adjust it, it will either think it is in idle when its not, or off idle when its not.


The only way I know to raise idle is to do a couple things.

1) drill a small hole in the throttle body to allow slightly more air in when its closed

2) Adjust the stop screw so that it pushes the throttle body slightly open to allow more air in.


If you do the second option you MUST re adjust your TPS as per FSM specifications. This way, the tps compensates for the raised rpm, recognizing the new value (>700rpm) as the new "idle".
