    LS 400 Idle

    The idle screw is under a cover on the back right of the engine. The cover is held on by 3 or 4 different nuts. Look for the throtle cables going into it. Then the actual throtle setting is a small allen screw and a lock nut thing. If you cannot find it I will photo it for you. FYI all my...

I have turned the idle screw up so the car does not stall. Now it either idles at 1000rpm or 1500rpm. It...
