you cant its a non adjustable dis-pak.check all your vacum pipes for leaks.if that dosent work try taking your temp sensor out the back of the head and giving it a light clean with some sand paper.

Yea, that would be caused by al electrical fault, or possibly a sticky throttle body.

i had this problem. take your pipe off which holds the air filter to the throttle body. there is a temperature sensor in the back of the throttle body. take this out and spray it with WD40 then it should work. if this fails, spray some carb cleaner down the throttle body while revving the engine slightly. this will free the butterfly if it is sticking slightly.
