"set" idle

[Contella]

When the Help file says "set" idle to 850, how exactly?

Does that mean type a value of 850 into a box, or adjusting idle screw or throttle stop screw, or distributor, or hold accelerator to achieve 850rpm?
Thank you.

When setting idle you should unplug the idle controller while running and it should idle on its own at about 550 or you should adjust the screw to get it to idle at 550. The you can plug the idle controller back in and then set in in the software to what you want and adjust the slider as needed.

Thank you for the quick assistance.
Sorry, I got sidetracked for awhile fixing brakes.
I need to get it driving so I can street tune and my idle is terrible, dies, etc.
The help says 850, here you say 550, is one of these a typo, or just updated method you use now?

Normal idle is between 750 to 850 but you must unplug the idle controller and adjust it to idle on it's own at 550RPM. If you look in the Helms manual it will give detailed instructions for setting idle correctly.

Thanks again, yes I read FSM but the car has knock-off SK2 Ultra,(and TB,) and only an old IACV, no fitv.
So it's missing a couple features.
Thank you.
