Default Fixed the idle problem in my 85!

It turns out that it was a combination of the EGR valve and a baad dist. cap. Only took me two weeks to discover. Thanks for all the help.

Vettenoob: yes I will be taking my car to dallas, Just bring the car by and we can get that sway bar fixed. You talking about this Sat.? I should be here if you are.

I am not possitive that the problem was completely with the egr but it wouldn't hold any vacumme and you know that valve the sticks down in the bottom will lets just say that I couldn't find it :nonod:

I think it was more the dist cap than anything. That kind off ticks me off as I just bought that cap (ac delco) less than 2000 miles ago. What a waste of $20. I bought a different brand this time.

Now I just need to adjust my AFPR but I guess that will have to wait as I don't have $40 for a gauge right now and I also have no idea what to do and what pressure it should be at.
