Idle was good..what happened?
Started the car after about two weeks and it idled at about 1800 rpm without kicking down. , something stuck? What should I check first? A little black smoke out of the right side exhaust.

Thanks, Joe

Excuse my ignorance, but should the idle screw be able to be pulled in and out with the car not running?
Basically I turned the car off, pushed the throttle lever and I did not turn the screw but pushed it in....started the car, the screw pushed out against the throttle lever and it idles normal now. Normal? Something I should check? What's up with that?
