Default Adjusting CO

Hi all! If you adjust the CO to a L8 Ecu with Idle valve disconnected is the idle speed changing or stays steady?

It will adjust according to the amount of energy released from the fuel. The correct procedure is to set idle speed and CO level until you get the correct level with engine at 900rpm. Then reconnect ISCV.

Thanks a lot Stu! I cleaned my throttle housing including bypass port of idle screw and with the screw set to exact same turns after cleaning the car had 1000rpm idle(idle valve disconnected) and before cleaning was hafing 650rpm with idle valve disconnected. I was planning to take it and adjust co since I adjust the idle to 900rpm but I didn't know if the idle is affected by Co adjust...
Could the co adjustment be responsible for very slight missfire on 1500- 2500rpm with no load on the engine or CPS,TPS, phase sensor could cause that? I don't feel it on the road anyway only stationary...
