If I a not mistaken, there should be an idle screw on the carburator.

I have a '94, hopefully it is the same for the '97.\n\nPress the "set" button on the radio, then use the "scan" and "seek" buttons to adjut the time. When you are done, you may have to hit "set" again.

Im not really clear what you mean by settings but the best physical part swap for acceleration in ring and pinion swap to lower the final drive ratio which means the engine revs faster hope i could help

A tune up to start.Plugs,spark plug wires,7mm will do fine.I reccomend bosch platinum plugs or split fire.For a budget,as I am on also,a new air filter will do,I like K&N.A good low restrictive muffler and a 3 inch exhaust will be suffice.You may want to check into a chip if your vehicle has a computer.Stay away from nitrous,your bottom end will not hold.Run a good 89 octane.This will not only improve your power but will also help your fuel mileage.If you want to get wild tear out all the interior and gut the thing to lighten it.You may want to also look into aftermarket undersized pulleys.Your looking at around a grand still at that.You may want to consider a trade for a mid eighties mustang with the 302.You could build a beast with that.Gluck man.Power up....

If the engine light comes on and goes off AND the car has a problem idling correctly, it could be the oxygen sensors. They are only expected to last around 60,000 miles so if it's been longer than that, you might want to get them changed. If they are worn out, you would get better power, better gas mileage, and a smoother running car. It could also be your fuel filter. If it is restricted, your engine could be starving under hard acceleration as the engine isn't getting all the fuel it needs. Also, check the condition of the plugs/wires to make sure they are ok.

6.5 is about right. Shift at 6,000 though. Mine is chipped w/exhaust and the power still dies off about there.

you just tune it down four half steps lower. you turn the machine head a different amount of times for every instrument, couldn't tell you that. \nhope this helps

chip, GT40 air intake, cat-back exhaust, free-flow cats, h-pipe. The easiest thing to do is change the oil to synthetic. Less friction=more power

None.\n\nAlthough on some superspeedways, the shifter is essentially ignored except for pit stops.

Shifting without letting off of the gas!  Keep your right foot matted to the floor and just brush the clutch pedal--snatch a gear and keep gittin' up!

Change cam shafts, Put a blower on it, Turbo charge it.\nFree flow exhaust system.
