TUNE-UP NOTES
Note. When performing tune-up procedures described in this article, the following notes and precautions must be followed
Always refer to Engine Tune-Up Decal in engine compartment before performing tune-up. If manual and decal differ, use decal specifications.
With the exception of initial ignition timing, normal tune-up procedures are not required. Adjust fuel system only when indicated by the Computer Comand Control (CCC) System Performance Check or poor engine performance.
Damage to the HEI electronic module and/or coil may result if "TACH" terminal is grounded. Do not remove spark plug wires with engine running. This would cause an overly rich mixture which may damage catalytic converter.
Before making compression test or cranking engine with a remote starter switch, disconnect the "BATT" terminal connector from distributor.
ENGINE COMPRESSION
During compression test, engine must be at normal operating temperature, all spark plugs removed, and throttle valve must be in WOT position. See COMPRESSION SPECIFICATIONS TABLE. Crank engine through 4 or more compression strokes.

IGNITION TIMING SPECIFICATIONS
HOT (SLOW) IDLE RPM - CARBURETED ENGINES
Note. On most models, idle speed is controlled by ECM and Idle Speed Control (ISC) motor. Other models use standard solenoids or vacuum-operated Idle Load Compensator (ILC). Identify system used on vehicle, then follow adjustment procedures.
Idle Speed (With Solenoid)
- Place transmission in Park or Neutral. Warm engine to normal operating temperature and adjust timing. Air cleaner must be installed. Choke must be fully open.
- Disconnect wire from idle solenoid. Adjust idle speed screw to correct curb idle speed. Connect lead to solenoid. Disconnect compressor clutch wire and turn A/C on (if equipped).
- Unplug electrical lead from solenoid and connect a 12-volt supply. Open throttle to extend solenoid plunger. Turn solenoid plunger to set correct solenoid RPM. Connect compressor clutch wire and solenoid wire. Turn A/C off (if equipped).

IDLE SPEED (RPM) - IDLE ADJUSTED IN PARK OR NEUTRAL
Idle Speed With Idle Load Compensator (ILC)
- Place transmission in "P", set parking brake, and block wheels. Remove air cleaner. Plug hose to Thermal Vacuum Valve (TVV). Disconnect and plug hoses to EGR, canister purge port, and Idle Load Compensator (ILC). Engine must be at normal operating temperature.
- Back out throttle stop screw 3 turns. With engine running and transmission selector in "D", adjust plunger to set "plunger extended" RPM. Hold jam nut on plunger to avoid damaging ILC.
- Measure distance from jam nut to tip of plunger. (Scheme 4) Measurement must not exceed 1" (25.4 mm). If measurement exceeds 1" (25.4 mm), check for a low idle condition.
- Reconnect engine vacuum to ILC and observe idle speed. Idle speed should match "plunger retracted" RPM. If idle speed is correct, no further adjustment of ILC is necessary. If not, proceed to next step.
- Turn engine off and remove ILC. Remove rubber cap from center outlet tube and then remove metal plug (if used) from tube. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove ILC if Allen wrench is modified to clear obstructions.
- Insert.090" (3/32") hex key wrench through center outlet tube cap to engage adjusting screw inside tube. One complete turn of screw will change idle speed to about 75-100 RPM.
- Recheck idle speed with transmission in Drive and closed loop mode. Turn engine off and disconnect power feed to ECM for 10 seconds. This allows ECM to reset TPS valve.

TPS ADJUSTMENT - CARBURETED ENGINES
Note. TPS adjustment screw is factory-sealed. No adjustment should be performed unless indicated by CCC System Performance Check.
Note. Before proceeding with TPS voltage check and adjustment, ensure that idle RPM is set to specification on vehicle emission control information label.
5.0L & 5.7L 4-Bbl
- Without separating connector, connect a high impedance digital voltmeter from TPS connector center terminal "B" to bottom terminal "C." Turn ignition on with engine off.
- Disconnect idle solenoid connector and ensure that throttle lever is against idle speed screw. Voltage reading should be .50-.58 volt on models with E4ME carburetor, or should not to exceed .7 volt on models with E4MC carburetor. If voltage is incorrect, adjust TPS voltage by removing plug covering TPS adjustment screw.
- Using a 5/64" drill bit, drill a hole 1/16-1/8" (1.6-3.2 mm) deep in plug covering TPS adjustment screw. Do not damage screw head. Start a 1/2" long No. 8 screw in drilled hole, seating only enough for good thread engagement. Using a screwdriver, pry against screw to remove plug. Discard plug.
- Using TPS Wrench (J-28696 or BT-7967-A), adjust TPS screw to obtain .50-.58 volts. Install new plug to seal setting after adjustment. Clear ECM memory if diagnostic code was set during adjustment.
Removing TPS Plug From 5.0L & 5.7L Carburetor. Scheme 5
5.0L & 5.7 TPI
- Install 3 jumper wires between TPS and harness connector or use "Scan" tester. With ignition on and engine off, connect a digital voltmeter to terminals "A" and "B". Loosen TPS adjusting screws.
- Adjust TPS to obtain .5 volt with throttle valves closed and 5.0 volts at wide open throttle. Turn ignition off, remove jumper wires and connect harness to TPS.
IDLE MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT
Note. Idle mixture adjustment is not required on fuel injected models. On carbureted models, mixture should be adjusted only if vehicle fails emission testing or carburetor has been disassembled.
MIXTURE SCREW PLUG REMOVAL - CARBURETED ENGINES ONLY
- Remove carburetor from engine. Drain fuel into container. Place carburetor in a holding fixture with manifold side up.
- Use hacksaw to make 2 small parallel cuts on throttle body, one on each side of locator points beneath idle mixture plugs. Cuts should extend down to steel plug, but not extend more than 1/8" (3.2 mm) below locator points.
- Using a flat punch or chisel, break out throttle body between saw cuts to gain access to plugs. Use punch to drive out plug. If hardened plug shatters, remove loose pieces. Repeat procedure to remove remaining plug. Install carburetor on engine.
IDLE MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT - CARBURETED ENGINES ONLY
- Using Remover/Installer (J-29030-B or BT-7610-B), remove both idle mixture screws and springs. Inspect needles for damage and needle openings for damage or foreign material.
- Reinstall mixture screws and springs in throttle body. Using remover/installer, turn both mixture screws clockwise until lightly seated. Turn each mixture screw counterclockwise 3 turns.
- Reinstall carburetor on engine using a new flange gasket. Proceed to IDLE MIXTURE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT step 9) to finalize correct dwell reading.
Scheme 6
- Mixture control solenoid must be checked before adjustment. Stop engine. Remove air cleaner and gasket. Insert Float Gauge (J-34935-1 or BT-8420-A) in "D" shaped hole in air horn (next to idle air bleed valve cover). Gauge checks float level externally. It may be necessary to grind material off gauge to allow it to enter hole.
- With gauge installed, read and record gauge mark that lines up with top of air horn. Lightly press down to bottom gauge. Total travel should be 1/16-3/16" (1.6-4.8 mm). If travel is correct, go to step 3). If float travel is not correct, carburetor must be disassembled and readjusted.
- Set parking brake and block drive wheels. Disconnect and plug canister purge hose. Connect tachometer to engine. Check ignition timing and adjust, if necessary.
- Connect a dwell meter to Green wire from mixture control solenoid in carburetor. Set dwell meter on 6-cylinder scale. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. A varying dwell should be noted on dwell meter. NOTE: Engine must be run long enough to ensure coolant temperature sensor and oxygen sensor are at full operational temperature.
- Adjust curb idle speed (on models with ISC or ILC, do not adjust). With engine idling in Drive (Neutral on man. trans.), observe dwell reading. If dwell needle is moving within 10-50 degrees, no adjustment is necessary. If needle is fixed at one point or outside of this range, proceed with adjustment.
- Stop engine. Cover carburetor air intakes and vents with tape. Drill rivet heads on idle air bleed plug (above primary bores). Remove plug and blow out metal chips and rivet pieces.
- Install Gauge (J-33815-2 or BT-8253-B) in "D" shaped hole on throttle side of air horn. Position gauge so upper end is over open cavity next to idle air bleed valve. (Scheme 6) (Scheme 6): Idle Air Bleed Valve Adjustment
- Lightly hold gauge down to seat solenoid plunger against its stop. Adjust idle air bleed valve so that gauge will pivot over and just touch top of valve. Remove gauge.
- Start engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Ensure canister purge hose is disconnected and plugged. While idling in Drive (Neutral on man. trans.), adjust idle air bleed valve with screwdriver until dwell varies within 25-35 degree range. Try to get as close to 30 degrees as possible. NOTE: Perform this step carefully. Idle air bleed valve is very sensitive in controlling air/fuel ratios. Valve should be turned only in 1/8 turn increments.
- If dwell reading does not vary and is not within 25-35 degree range after this adjustment, it will be necessary to remove plugs covering idle mixture screws. After removing plugs, adjust idle mixture as follows.
- Turn mixture screws in until lightly seated. Back each screw out 3 turns. Install carburetor with new flange gasket. Repeat step 9).
- If unable to set dwell to 25-35 degrees, and dwell is below 25 degrees, turn both mixture screws out one turn. If above 35 degrees, turn both mixture screws in one turn.
- Readjust idle air bleed valve to obtain dwell limits. Seal idle mixture screws with silicone sealer or RTV. Mixture control adjustment is complete if dwell at 3000 RPM varies between 10-50 degrees and there is at least a 300 RPM drop from full rich to full lean.
- Idle mixture adjustment is complete if closed loop dwell at idle varies between 10-50 degrees and there is no rough engine idle.
Carbureted Engines
- Engine must be at normal operating temperature with choke fully open. Air cleaner must be installed and A/C off.
- Disconnect and plug vacuum hoses at EGR valve. Position cam follower on high step of fast idle cam. On 5.0L (VIN Y), place cam follower on low step of fast idle cam.
- On 5.0L (VIN Y). Apply vacuum to ILC with vacuum pump to retract ILC plunger. On all models, turn fast idle screw to set correct fast idle RPM. Adjust fast idle speed within 15 seconds after idle speed reaches 700 RPM.
