Idle Speed After Timing Belt Change

[ricsvtr]

Hi guys, Ive just had my timing belt replaced on my R33 and for some reason my car seems to idle slightly higher than it used to. It used to idle around 700~750rpm and now it sits around 900rpm. Ive spoken to the mechanic and he reckons the idle speed wasnt touched when the car was getting serviced. Does anyone know why it would idle higher than before?

Thanks!

Could it be cos he's accidently turned to timing a little up or something? If they didn't put it back exactly where it was before could make it do that?

Id guess timing is now different that before.

just make sure hte timming is on 15 at idle and then fine tune ur idle with the AAC valve screw.

It wont be anyhting to worry about:)

Can the timing affect the idle? How do you tell if the mechanic set the timing correctly? The car seems to run fine apart from the higher idle speed.

Thanks for the replies!
