crossover idle problems
I have a 1982 corvette which I just got for a birthday present from my wife and I'm having an isssue with it running really rich like it's flooding. It smokes like crazy and wants to stall. It has 76,000 miles on it. when it's cold it runs very rough but when it reaches operating temp it smooths out alot. When I shut it off for about 10 minutes to like get gas and start it up again it idles at about 2000 rpm for about a minute or so then drops down to about 800-1000 rpm. Is there a way to stop this high idle. I did replace the spark plugs because with all the flooding symptoms they were black and fouled. This did seem to help me at least get it to run a little better but this high idling after the engine is already warm has me puzzled. Any input may help. Thinking about rebuilding the TBI's? Maybe injectors?
