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?
