How do you adjust the idle on a 95 Mustang GT?

1986-1995 Mustang Idle Setting Procedure

Disconnect IAC (Idle Air Control) Solenoid. If the engine stalls, turn the throttle-stop screw in one full turn and restart. Repeat as necessary until the engine will idle with IAC unplugged. Set idle using throttle stop.

What does a spout connector do?

The purpose of the spout connector is to complete the circuit to the distributor to allow the PCM to have timing control. You remove the spout connector to disable PCM timing control so you can sccurately set your base timing by twisting the distributor and using a timing light.

Which way do I turn my Ford distributor to advance timing?

2. Setting base ignition timing is done by twisting the distributor; it's held down by a ½-inch bolt and clamp. You can use a swivel socket or a distributor wrench (shown) to loosen the bolt enough so you can turn the distributor. Spinning it clockwise advances timing, counterclockwise retards the timing.

How do you advance timing on a 302?

For an initial start, it is recommended that you advance the timing by turning the distributor counter clockwise 10°, and then set the timing by using a timing light.

What is IAC Mustang?

Mustang Idle Air Control Motors (IAC)

How do I know if my ignition timing is too advanced?

Clues that the timing is too advanced would be hard cranking, the engine tries to kick back when cranking, rough idle can be caused by too much advance, and detonation is another sign of too much advance. There is no such thing as too much ignition timing.

What happens if timing is too advanced?

Overheating. If ignition timing is too far advanced, it will cause the fuel-and-air mixture to ignite too early in the combustion cycle. This can cause the amount of heat generated by the combustion process to increase and lead to overheating of the engine.

What will a bad idle control valve do?

When the idle air control valve fails, it inhibits the flow of air through the engine. When the car can't receive air, it leads to engine stalling. The severity of this symptom can range from occasional stalling at first, to stalling immediately after ignition.

What are the symptoms of a bad idle air control valve?

Common signs include irregular or unusually high idle speed, the Check Engine Light coming on, and stalling while idling.
