Not sure with the 420a(I dont think it does), but on the turbo motors, there a base idle adjustment screw by your throttle position sensor.. < Message edited by TheAdvocate -- 10/19/2007 7:39:28 PM > _____________________________ -Project 99 GSX- Built 6 bolt Crower rods ross pistons Built Head FP3x Cams Venom Intake AEM Fuel Rail 850 Injectors *Looking for Sponsors* (in reply to kenlrw39) Post #: 6
