bouncing idle 4kq

[Aaron Sherrick]

I think I fixed my idle dipping problem.  All I did turn the idle screen
counterclockwise a whole bunch.  I'd say I probably turned it at least
three rotations.  The idle still seems a little low, some days as low as
~625rpms, others as high as 750rpms.  In either case, the rpms never
drop BELOW idle like they used to.  How much adjustment (number of
turns) does the idle screw usually require?  Three rotations sounds like
a lot to me.  Since my adjustments were counterclockwise, I'm concerned
that the screw will become even looser over time with vibrations.  Any
BTDT's with regard to the idle screw rotations and loosening?  Thanks!

I have been experiencing a similar problem with my 4kq.  Starts fine,
idles fine.  Once you let off the gas the rpms drop into the 200-400rpm
range, and then jumps back up to idle.  My idle seems to be pretty low
lately at 500-600rpms.  I intend to increase the idle, but I don't think
that will do anything to my rpms dips when I let off the gas.
