1HD-T injector pump - high idle speed help
Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2011 7:27 pm
Hoping someone can help with my issue.
Motor is 1HD-T in 80 series cruiser. The idle speed has recently increased and sits on 800rpm.
It stays on 800rpm 90% of the time, although it has dropped down to its usual 600ish rpm a couple of times.
I had a look at the A/C idle up actuator today to see if this is the issue. It appears not to be.
Currently, with the engine idling at 800, the A/C idle up actuator does not do anything when it engages - this is because when it is engaged (I have done it manually by sucking on the vac hose) it only moves far enough to just touch the throttle backstop mechanism.
The A/C idle up actuator appears to be working to its proper limit, as I I can see the travel it usually has at the rubber boot has worn on the shaft. Even so, its def not the problem as it doesnt even touch the idle mechanism when its not engaged.
It appears that the main idle is out of adjustment, although this theory is negated by the motor occasionally dropping back to a practical idle on the odd occasion - generally after running at highway speed.
Are there any other idle up mechanisms that could be affecting idle speed?
Or can the whole idle bracket set up move?
It's a bit condusing at the moment, as I can't see how the grub scew could move, and if if it has it doesnt explain why the rpm would drop on occasion.
I am hoping it is something mechanical and not something internal in the injector pump?
I can get photos if required.
