WARNING:
This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and
could create liability under applicable federal or local laws.
Rolling idle, body boom or stalls after cold start may be caused by the fuel and idle speed control strategies of the engine calibration. To correct this,
install a new processor assembly, E6DZ-12A650-MK (50 State) or E6DZ-12A650-AFK (Canada) using the following service procedure.
1.
Install processor assembly E6DZ-12A650-MK (50 State) or E6DZ-12A650-AFK (Canada).
2.
Set the curb idle (hardstop) to 760 RPM using the following procedure.
NOTE:
If the following procedure is not performed, an improper idle speed and unacceptable driveability will result.
3.
Place the transmission in Neutral or Park, turn the A/C-Heat selector lever to the "Off" position. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels.
4.
Bring the engine to normal operating temperature. Check for vacuum leaks downstream of the throttle plates. Service as required.
5.
Unplug the SPOUT connector and verify the ignition initial timing is 10~ BTDC +/- 2~. If the initial timing is not to specification, service as
required.
Figure 12
6.
Shut off the engine and disconnect the air bypass valve assembly connector, Figure 12.
NOTE:
Not disconnecting the air bypass valve assembly will result in a low throttle plate set and a low idle speed (rolling idle cold and decel stalls).
7.
Remove the PCV entry line at the PCV valve.
8.
Install the Orifice Tool T86P-9600-A (0.200 inch orifice diameter) in the PCV entry line and start the engine.
