timing and idle ?'s
I set my timing at 8*btdc w/ est disconnected, my tps is at .54, and my idle is at 650-675.
Is 650-675 too low?

Mine idles around 900 and I'm fine with that. Last time I tried it didn't want to get as low as the tech advice told me.
Perhaps I was doing something wrong? Anyways, I idle around 900 and am ok with it.
If you're ok with your idle, it's ok with me, heh.

On start up, mine idles around 1000 rpm. After a minute or two the idle comes down to 800 rpm or so, After I start driving the idle is at 675 RPM. Confirmed by scan. I think your where you need to be.
