Why You Shouldn't Adjust the Idle of your Chevy TBI

    On these TBI motors, the sensors and proper spark are always the issue. I've got a 95 K-1500 and my idle went goofy up and down for a while then got worse. Changed out the TPI sensor, MAP sensor, IAC sensor and it got a bit better then got worse. Changed plugs, wires, Cap and rotor and everything is like brand new and running smooth as silk. All of these things work together to make these engines run properly. Sometimes you think it's this but the whole time it was that. Keep all that working and up to date and you will be happy about your motor.

  • @RocketSauce666
    @RocketSauce666 10 місяців тому

    I recognize this is an old video, but it just popped up in my feed as I have been building a chess board project myself. I hate to be that person, but man, lots of sketchy moments with your table saw. Again, I know this is 5yrs old, so likely not directly useful advice to you... but here goes. 1) Install a riving knife. That will prevent the cut piece from pinching between the blade and the fence and generating dangerous kickback. That kickback you were seeing when cutting pieces for the border was pretty mild in comparison to the projectiles your table saw is capable of shooting into your leg, chest or face. 2) Buy or make a proper push stick. You want to be able to put consistent downward pressure on the workpiece throughout the cut. Holding a long stick at an angle is woefully unsafe. You seem to have a better pushstick at the end of the video, so maybe you purchased some of those accessories after the original cuts... but those are WAY better than what you were using in the beginning. 3) When cutting small strips, use a sacrificial push stick. I recommend lowering your blade to just above the workpiece thickeness and using a pushblock that will apply downward pressure across the length of the workpiece and can be cut by the blade so you can push down consistently throughout the cut. You showed some really wonky and sketchy cuts throughout, but the worst was with those strips for the border. 4) Consider a feather board. A feather board applies sideways pressure holding the piece against the fence before the cut. This would have helped with any of the cuts, but especially the padauk cuts for the angled border. The workpiece can tend to shift away from the fence near the end of a cut and give you some wonky results and potentially create kickback. This is easy enough to do when you have a wide piece and you are only cutting a small portion of it... you just push "in" with your hand... but when the piece is narrow, you can't keep your hand that close to the blade at the end of the cut and it tends to lift off the fence. I5) Glue Up - you're right, getting consistently flat pieces before glue up would have helped. Also, look into clamping cauls or a clamping table that allows you to clamp down at the joints to keep things flat while applying your clamps across the joints. Adding weight to the middle of the board is helpful to minimize the amount of clean up too. 6) Sanding the edge banding. Look into a plane of some sort. You could have quickly and easily planed off the extra material and then sanding it with orbital sander to keep everything flat. Using the drum sander to sanding that narrow bit of edge banding is like using a sledge hammer to drive in a tac. 7) Making miter joints - Set your blade to make a slightly more acute cut... so make the angle 45.1. That way if there is a little bit of a gap, it will be not at the corner / tip of the miter, it will be in the back closer to the board... you don't want that gap either, but you can use clamping pressure to make it a nice tight joint... if you go at 44.9, you can't really overcome that with clamping pressure and you're just stuck with a gap. The other thing is to just take your time and sneak up on the fit when you are cutting them. Final though is to consider making the cuts on the table saw with a miter gauge or angled sled. Miter saws are notoriously pretty wonky in terms of alignment. They are generally made for straight cuts, framing houses and cutting baseboard / trim so the tolerances are not super critical. If you are making fine furniture and crafts, you need to consider a more accurate tool. The end result looks nice, so kudos to you, but I really hope you have implemented some of what I wrote above in the past 5 yrs to keep yourself safe and minimize clean up for these sorts of projects.

    I know this was a early video in your wood working journey. Always measure corner to corner to ensure the material is square. This will help with your miters and get a good miter gage so you can cut them on the table saw.

    @wandajames6234 11 місяців тому

    Retired Class A tech here. There is a reason those idle screws are sealed-- because you will be messing with a delicate balance of sensors. And you will likely have ongoing issues if you do mess with it. Better to find the underlying problem. A manual is a big help. RESEARCH. Start with the simplest jobs first-- is the air filter clean; get some spray sensor cleaner and clean the MAF and MAP sensors and whatever other sensors that can be cleaned; clean the throttle body with TBI spray cleaner; check condition of vacuum hoses-- put your ear down, sometimes you can hear a hissing if there's a leak; the EGR Valve is very important- mechanical ones can be removed and the little pintle valve inside freed up-- you can test if it holds vacuum with a basic vacuum tester- or just get a new one if it's original and old. Research how to inspect and test the Idle Air Control valve and TPS; then you can start getting into the bigger things like fuel pressure tests, O2 sensor test, pulling the throttle body and check injectors and the gaskets and of course you will need to replace them as they get damaged upon removal. It's always about getting enough air, fuel and spark as well as having clear exhaust channels. There cannot be any fuel, air or electrical system (arcing) leaks. Just go at it systematically. Sometimes it is the simplest thing. You should invest in: a multimeter; a vacuum tester; possibly a fuel pressure gauge, and hopefully a comprehensive manual for your model which will have all the specs and electrical diagrams you need. It will also show how to bring up codes and what they mean. Invaluable. No guessing. Haynes, Chilton-- can get them used.

    A lot was wrong with my 1992 GMC from faulty Mechanics, but I even thought of adjusting the idle because it idles so low almost stall. I changed every sencer in the truck, one made a difference was the Knock Sensor, that one one module I missed. Knowing the truck is old and I know modules run off the engine block ground, I got an extra ground cable and installed a second ground, that seemed to add horsepower. After suffering with a bad running engine for 8 years, tonight was the first time in years feels like a 100 more HP was added to in. In the TBI rebuild I installed the POD spacer and intake TBI spacer that woke the engine up, does work.
