Injector Question
 
I recently installed a set of POD's in my truck, and let me say, wow! Now just a quick question. Does it seem right that I should have had to turn the full fuel screw up to bring the idle back to where it was? And I was able to turn the pump up further than before before the idle did increase. Also, I am wondering if installing an intercooler will be worth the cost (about $900 i believe) I have heard that it will help to lower egt's, but is it worth it? Has anyone done it with an early 1st gen that didnt have one originally? Thanks

It's common for the idle to fall off after the installation of POD's. Just turn the idle screw up to bring it back to where you want it.
