My problem is with the idle at operating temp. I have been trying to solve this problem for some time. I start getting a cycling of 3 different rpms once the car reaches operating temp (160) and the 9th injector (cold start injector) shuts off, which cause the car to run lean. My understanding is that the 9th injector is only on the 85 vet. I have tried cleaning and replacing must parts, including all the manifold gaskets.
I was told of a procedure that might help. Get the car to operating temp, disconnect the battery for 30min (clearing the computer). Start the car and put the car in drive (idle) for 5min, then in neutral for 2min, and then in reverse for 5min. What this is doing is helping the computer learn the idle. I have not tried this, but will this weekend.
Has anyone had this problem?
BTW, thanks wigman with timing problem. I did not know that the oil pump gear moves when the distributor is removed.
