I'll lube that baby up tonight. Just finished the coolant hoses. I added my evap hose. Also threw on a 111" belt. Thats much better than the 112 I had on there. Also replaced my header exhaust gasket, that baby was shot. Still leaks some, but thats normal.

Tex, I have not ever gotten mine to odle just right either. I did richen it up a good bit and get it to idle better.

Look at my v9.00 temp file and the latest current file to see the changes I went through to get it to idle better. The idle tables, VE table, and the base timing tables are the ones I changed if I remember right.

right after my install I also got the high idle CEL - about 1200, and it ended up being something really simple - throttle body gasket was on backwards and was leaking bigtime on the right upper edge.

Another common, easy mistake to make.
