Baseline idle on '88 240 w/ LH 2.2, & Automatic 200 1988

Morning Volvophiles,

I was attempting to set the baseline idle speed on my 240 this weekend. After grounding the the blue and white wire at the test terminal. The engine would die. I tried this several times and the engine would die each time. I have checked for air leaks and breaks in vacuum lines and I have found none. I am under the impression from Bentley that once I ground the terminal lead I should be able to set the baseline idle speed, so I am thinking the engine should not die each time. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John
