Hi.. 85 gl here... I replaced my airmeter and sealed the throttlebody at the spider..my idle screw is set st 1/2 turn out from bottom.. ii cant go any higher or it surges..o2 sensor is new.. I can't pass inspection because my curb idle is 1350rpms... the timing is correct.. would a bad fuel regulator cause a high idle/inconsistent??? When its in gear it drops down.. i think its because the curb is so high that the torque converter is bearing down on the tranny to cause the idle drop...Also when its cold/first start if i dont pull the hose from the intake tube it runs EXTREMELY rich.... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I think its either the fuel regulator..maybe a worn throttle body? |
