Increase The Idle Speed

[Dusty Rag]

Anyone know how to increase the idle speed? I drive a manual JT and I think this would be beneficial when off-road to help keep from having to work the clutch as much on more technical terrain. Can you do this with a tazer or something similar? Thanks!

JSCAN will do it. Put your phone in a mount on the dash, fire up jscan, choose your idle speed.

I use it to control idle - set it up higher - when using the winch.

This is a shot from my tablet, but gives the idea.

Awesome! I’ll look into it. Thanks!

Just curious, can you do it manually?
Reason I ask is, I was hunting down a vaccum leak for high idle, found my VML hose came off the purge solenoid, but noticed a set screw on the throttle thing a ma bob connected to the TB. Wondered what it was there for?

I'd not mess with that.
The throttle is controlled electronically - by the signal from the pedal. Go messing with the throttle body and you could make a mess.
That screw isn't like the carburetor's of old where you set idle speed with a screw on the throttle plate.

Gotcha. Yea, didn’t figure it should be adjusted. Just noticed it.
