Idle on a 460 EFI ?
What is the proper way to set the base idle speed on a 1989 efi 460?
My truck does not seem to go into a fast idle when it is cold. Yes both the ECT and ACT sensors have been repalced and there are no codes.

Thanks
Matt

What about the IAC valve right under the throttle plates? That is what actually regulates idle.

I have replaced the iac. The new one did not seem to change the idle.
