V6 2.5. Petrol, How do you set the tickover?
Current issue is that when you come to a stop in D or R the tickover drops too low, then it hunts a bit and settles.
If you add an electrical load (lights or heated screen) it’s all absolutely fine so it looks like if I lift the tickover a touch it’ll not be a problem.
If you go from N to D tickover is a bit low causing fittings to chatter.
I saw something suggesting it’s the big screw on the driver’s side at the back above the inlet manifold. Tried a turn each way and that made no difference so put it back.
Had a new distributor and rotor arm too so maybe try shifting that a few degrees each way to see if it makes things better or worse.
Anyone know how to set tickover?
