would the idle be erratic?

right now its hovering between 1000 and 1200rpm

ill tighten the adjusting screw and see if it'll stop...

unless theres an intake vacuum leak...

 

cam gear?....if so how many degrees?

 

as far as i know.. timing will not effect idel... when did the high idle condition start??what year is your car.. adn why is your timing advanced??

"if your timing is too agresive" and you use shit fuel you will ping/detonate and that is not good for the car..

 

buy a timing light. or be cheap like me and borrow one

 

If you changed cams, certain aftermarket cams produce a rough idle. Gude's website talks about it a bit.

 

i reset the ecu first....then, advanced the timing two degrees....BTW its a 93EG obd1....and hour later i rolled out. well, half way to my destination ( about 10miles out)...i ended up rolling start raced another ex....dropped into 3rd@65mph (doh?)...10secs into it, CEL came on.

i got 165k on the dash...80actual on the d16z6

 

oh yah...BTW, once i got to my destination...i started the car 5 mins after...on CEL...but CEL came back on normal driving on the way home couple hours later....sigh....i guess ill set the timing back to stock

 

i jumped the connector under the kicker panel on the passenger side...and with the motor running, i adjusted the distributor
