I asked for months for the 94 manual in PDF form. I ended up paying 65 for it. They show up on ebay sometimes, but you're not gonna get one other than that.

yea thats what i figured,, i have lots of other import car manuals to trade as well, so i figured maybe that would have been more of an bargain for the owner of the manual and i....i get .pdf of that and i give a .pdf for the help

well not sure if you still need yours or not, but if you dont how much would you sell it for??? i assume yours is the 94 edition

I set mine to 1100 on my D16Z6 - helps quite a bit between shifts for matching RPMs. Stop and go traffic is much easier too!

mine turned out to be my timing, it was set at 20' BTDC, i guess when they installed my cam they retarded the timing. well i put it back to 16 then i advanced it to 17 and it idles just fine now. before my idle used to go all the way down to 100-300 shaking like crazy.

I found that raising the idle seems to keep the throttle body cleaner from oil being pulled into the intake, and as I said before it helps with matching RPMs easier when you shift and lets the alternator put out more when you're standing in traffic and listening to your system - not very much current comes out of a stock alternator when you idle the engine, so every little bit more rpms help that way.
