Idle Compensator Sensor

Hi..lets see if someone can help me with this. I converted my 2.8 liter fuel injected motor to a 350 carbureted motor. The car has air conditioning which i want to keep. I have added a idle compensator sensor, but i dont know exactly how to hook it up. I also added a 6 speed tranny and need to know where i connect the vss cable. If anyone has the answers plz let me know...Thx to all of the replys.

Re: Idle Compensator Sensor

Need Car specs, is it computer controlled? and more info on the compensator. A quick suggestion is the A/C high pressure line has a switch that closes at a preset pressure. You could also use the compressor clutch switch.

Re: Idle Compensator Sensor

Hi..The idle compensator sensor is the edelbrock #8059. The car is a 89 rs. the carburetor will be run w/o the ecm. If you could give me wire colors or exactly what i need to look for that will be great. Thx again

Re: Idle Compensator Sensor

The A/C compressor has a connector on top right behind the clutch pulley. The connector has a diode across the terminals. disconnect it, with the A/C turned one of those two terminals will be hot. splice into the wire that is hot (has 12volts) with the A/C on, and connect it to the compensator solenoid connector, grounding is made through the compensator bracket. Don't forget to reconnect the A/C connector, or your compressor won't come on.

With the engine idling make record of the rpm, then turn on the A/C, and adjust the compensator to bring the idle back up to the recorded rpm.

Let us know how it works out for you.
