How to solve idle adjustment problems, on all power supplies

Model: Mini Mini Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

If you have problems with idle adjustment, this video is for you: often the problem is insufficient discharge to the ground, because the cable is damaged or oxidized and therefore the control unit no longer discharges properly. The best thing is to connect them either to the negative pole of the battery or to the bodywork of the car. Take a common electric cable and take the measurements between a screw of the control unit and the point you prefer. The youtuber connected it to the negative pole of the battery. Remove one screw from the control unit, curl the wires and connect them to the screw, or put a lug on it; then connect it to the negative pole of the battery, as the youtuber did. You will certainly benefit from this operation. We will do the same for the other ECU as well. A mass problem can give a whole series of minimum problems which is not good.
