    Re: Clutch Cable Problem

    I've done that but there still seems to be air in the system and it still revs up and down.The only time it doesn't rev is when it's on fast idle,and I don't have a cel on.

    Re: Clutch Cable Problem

    You've touched so many things on this, it is difficult to keep up with it...

    Have you tried letting the car warm up, then get it to hunting idle like you describe.. then slowly, very slowly turn the base idle screw in a a little to see if it stabilizes? then if not then screw it equally as slow outwards to get it to at least idle too slow and maybe stabilize, then compensate the rpm by turning the distributor timing up some..

    If the base idle was jacked up too much to begin with, not necessarily the rpm as much as the actual opening for air via the screw, then the base timing would not have been truly correct because engine rpm and ign timing both move if the other has been adjusted or disturbed.
    I don't know it I'm making sense here, I hope at least the theory is getting through.

    Yeah I spent the afternoon trying to get air out,but still not idling right.I understand what you're saying,I was thinking it might be the screw need to be adjusted,or maybe the eacv or fiv.The distributor hasn't been touched since I got the motor.The TB was off my other motor I took out of the car.The TB off this motor was seized up.

    I usually jack up the front of the car to bleed the cooling system. These didn't used to be this hard to bleed. I'm not sure what happened.

    Are you sure you don't have any vacuum leaks?

    So I got it fixed finally,picked up some new o-rings for the iacv and replaced them.I also adjusted the idle,still at 1100 so got to turn it down a little.But other than that it seems to be good,thanks for your help guys.
