6.
With engine idling in neutral, and no accessory load on engine, insert gage block (or drill shank) between the carburetor throttle lever and
adjustment screw on the TV linkage lever at the carburetor (Figure 8). The TV pressure should be 35 PSI +/- 5 PSI. For best transmission
function, use the adjusting screw to set the pressure as close as possible to 35 PSI. Turning the screw in will raise the pressure 1.5 PSI per turn.
Backing out the screw will lower the pressure. If equipped with Idle Speed Control, some *"hunting" may occur and an average pressure reading
will have to be determined. If the adjusting screw does not have enough adjustment range to bring TV pressure within specification, first adjust rod
at the transmission as described in the Shop Manual.
7.
Remove gage block, allowing TV lever to return to idle. With engine still idling in neutral, TV pressure must be at or near zero (less than 5 PSI). If
not, back out adjusting screw until TV pressure is less than 5 PSI. Re-install gage block and check that TV pressure is still 35 PSI +/- 5 PSI.
*NOTE: Idle Speed Control is only on 1984 3.8L engine with AOD transmission.
