Idling check

Notes:

  • ◆ Idling speed, ignition timing and CO content not adjustable.
  • ◆ The idling speed is regulated to specification by the throttle valve positioner in conjunction with the DIS function.
  • ◆ The position of the distributor has no influence on ignition timing.
  • ◆ CO content regulated by Lambda control. Faults in Lambda control are detected in self-diagnosis and stored in fault memory.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items
