idle issue...again
Okay so i got it idle at 900. I drove it around the block and it was perfect. than i drove it to the shop for the ebrake to be fixed and whenever i had the clutch in or in neutral, the car idle erratically. It would bounce between 1 and 2k. Any ideas on a fix?

I found more timing means a higher idle, and less fuel (to a degree) also leads to a higher idle, (but less smooth).
it's all a compromise, find the best setup for yourself and stick with it.
Personally I'd set the idle to 10 - 12 deg and go from there.

okay, well i lowered my spark to 10 deg and went into the idle setting than put all thec cells around my idle to the same, and set it to warmup only. It is now settled at 900 which i like, and all is good. my question is this, by setting it to warmup only what are the effects? What happens now that i set it like that?

ah you where dumping to much fuel becouse of the AE on idle huh. Yeah that would do it to. The settings you have mean that it will only tryt o stabilize idle when in warm up otherwise the mechanical TB and VE map should keep the idle fairly stable, I am glad you got this right. How does it run with a laod on it now at idle lights AC etc?

If it's stable in warm up mode, that means things should be set up close to right. I'd turn the warmup off again, and play with the idle valve settings, oscillations often mean things are "too tight" or "too fast" so make a bigger window about the idle you want and see if it helps? There's a lot in the manual on setting this up it's probably a good place to start - they might have suggestions for good numbers for you.
