Setting the idle in my 1800 1800 70

posted by  someone claiming to be Justin on  Mon May 21 17:22 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello,

After some work, my 1800 is back on the ground and I'm trying to get it running right, but without much luck. Currently, the idle is all over the place. I've looked for vacuum leaks and can't find any so far. When I rev it up, it continues to idle at that RPM rate. Once I put my hand over the air inlet, it will slow back down and remain steady. I didn't touch the idle adjustment or stop screw, either. The machine shop that did the work on the head and manifolds said they didn't, either.

Also, the bottom end oomph has left along with the old oil. It pulls strong, but takes some serious motivation to get there. I had the head worked on, and didn't do anything to the block but pull it to replace the clutch and oil pan. I can't think how the timing could have changed. The fuel pressure is spec at 28 psi, and all the FI things check out to spec. Well, those that I knew how to test.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
