What all modifications do you have and when is the last time you changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc?

yeah i can get into it fine and it feels great, its just idle..
i just had all the rubber replaced not too long ago so i hope its not a vaccuum leak because that would mean its somewhere worse

Re: why am i idling like this? *video
Atleast yours isnt as bad as mine, or didnt look like it...from what ive learned check and see if theres any codes. I just started throwing parts at it trying to fix it from the symptoms i was having and no luck (replaced the MAP sensor, TPS, ICM, CTS, FP relay, had distributor checked, timing done, checked the vacuum lines) Then i checked the codes and came back with code 23 and 32 (MAT and EGR) i just replaced the MAT sensor today now going to take a look at the EGR when i have time. Best bet is to check those codes before you dump a bunch of time and money into it. Hope you can figure it out!

As a side note mine is a 305 tbi so different from yours but you should still be able to get codes.
