5T4R7ET N/A Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 when the engine is warm and idling at 750 rpm, raise the rpm by 50 to 800 and see if it makes any difference to the noise. it is adjusted by a small screw located on the throttle body. to find it, follow the cable that attaches to the throttle body round on the linkage. the linkage piece rests on a little screw with a 8mm screw on the right. sometimes marked with a yellow dot. (sorry, not very good with explanations)i noticed that this reduced the noise from the ICV, but you will still be able to hear the injectors ticking away, they are pretty loud when bonnet is up.
