Hey, my air con belt is slipping a bit, so i went to tighten it, and upon trying to undo the idler pulley nut, stripped the bolt. I need to know how i can go about getting this little sucker undone because the belt slip is annoying the hell out of me.

Also, i need to raise my idle a few hundred RPM and to do this i need to undo the wiring to the ISC solenoid...now i have no idea where this is or what it looks like so if someone could tell me or show me with a picture where this clip is it would be really apprecieated.

NOTE: Car is a '91 EB fairmont

Thanks

Dane.

Try a single hex socket or an impact socket bash it on & try to undo it.
Or try a pair of vicegrips..

The ISC on top of your intake maifold...straight off the airbox ducting as it goes into the mainfold. Should be held in with 2 screws. And good luck trying to raise the idle. That idle screw is stuck in there from factory. There is a procedure to raise the idle while the ISC is disconnected, but I tried this and it didnt do anything.

Well i fixed the belt, stupid me didnt see the bigger nut behind the one i was trying to undo hehe.

I also upped the idle, I just undid the ISC wiring and turned the screw.

All the help was appreciated
