Default rasing idle on 4wd cossie

ok

is there anyway to raise the idel on a 4wd cossie by not adjusting the tickover screw as its seized solid and is round the centre

i know i have to raise my fuel pressure as its too low will this increae the tickover?

if nto any other ideas or is it a throttle off and having it drilled out and a new screw fitted

raising fuel pressure will effect idle a bit mate, no other way really other than inducuing an air leak

Had this trouble on my old 4x4

Put a second hand throttle body on it off a 2wd,the base idle screw is a different design,its got a lock nut rather than being a tight fit inside throt body
