One time I had a bac that would not fully retract during its cycle. It would cause the car to idle at about 1100 to 1200 when warmed up. Removed said part and soaked it in fuel injector fluid overnight, blew it out and reinstalled same. Works fine now. Your problem may be a different thing all together.

LOL, these cars rarely idle correctly. Mine will idle after nearlly stalling. It's kind of funny, it moves up and down until it finds its happy medium. Cool car...anyone think it's suppose to do that? Btw, my idle become much better when i started premixing, my car's oil lines were messed up and not enough oil was getting to the engine.
