Air idle valve?

Hi all, 305ci TPI.

Is there an air idle valve anywhere?

I need to adjust the stop on the throttle so it doesn't stick, but then of course the tick-over is too high.

Some engines have an air-idle valve that can be adjusted to compensate for this.

Thanks,

Andy

Is controlled by the computer.
If you change throttle stop position then you need to reset TPS and IAC valve to get idle right
