Default s2 help please

escort s2.

its been running sweet for a long time since i had my car tuned because when i got my car tuned it solved the problem.


but when my cars idling its hardly on 1000, so sometimes it seems like it might cut out.

is there eny way and if there is how can i change the revs, i thought maybe i can turn the revs up slightly.

please help

Would sort it short term...idle screw though



Check for any air leaks as well just incase, boost pipes especially...could cause it.

you shouldn't adjust it with throttle cable as that should be set so the throttle switch clicks as soon as the throttle is moved adjust it with the air screw under right hand side of throttle body, screw it out a touch
