Angry fuggin idle problems!!!!!!!

this is pissin me off i checked EVERY FUGGIN THING, from tid to the line to my boost gauge, i think i sprayed so much carb cleaner im going to pass out.... anyone with idle problems ever fix it? i am pulling 10inches of vaccum at 550rpms when i bring it to 900 i pull 16inches.. its not apex sealing problem is it? cuz it starts right up. And idles when its warm just really crappy. Tyrel said it sounded like a lawnmower

Someone on this forum described the motor sounding like a lawnmower if you crossed the trai sparkplug wires(top wires). Its just a thought.

the idle on my old 86GXL was rough. I advanced the timing until the idle was smooth.

Car also ran a LOT better after that.

When you advanced the timing, was it within safety spec? Too much timing could eventualyl blow up your motor!

I think someone needs to use injector cleaner to smooth up timing, if he hasn't done so.
