Idle adjustment procedure
 

When adjusting idle should the throttle cable be adjusted so that the butterfly in the throttle body is not completely closed. If I adjust the cable with slack then the butterfly is closed and it has problems with idle but will run if I keep pressure on the accelerator!?

I believe you should have a little slack in the cable, the air adjustment screw on the throttle body should do the same thing as you are doing when holding the butterfly valve open.

'74 1.8L is alive!

By the way it is a 73 2056 mild PP, webcam etc..I have adjusted this screw almost all the way out and it will still not idle at some point....

try pulling the screw out all the way and flush it out and clean it with pipe cleaners

it just might be clogged
