high idle.
Guy's
I am a new vette owner, I picked up an 81 on the cheap and am having some problems w/the idle. Car has 54,000 miles w/new Q jet carb.
when I start the car it wants to idle at 2000 rpm if you kick the throttle it will come down to about 1150 rpm's, I thought that the timing may be horse shi- to I unplugger the 4 wire harness going to the dist, and checked the timing. When I unplugged the harness the idle dropped to about 600 rpm"
the timing was good but when I plugger the harness back the idle went from 600 to 1200 rpm's again. I tried to set the idle down but to no avail ( the screw in not touching anything the throttle plate?}
is this a ignition controll module or is it something else?
