lg4 idling high and run on

Hi, i have an 87 firebird. Just had to swap the intake manifold and now my car idles at 2k rpm and coughs for about half a minute after i shut it off. Idles fine when the four wire plug is not plugged into the distributor. Vacuum problem?? i checked the lines and hoses and they seem to be okay but i may have hooked them up wrong after i swapped the intake.

Re: lg4 idling high and run on

for anyone wondering, the timing was off and the cruise control cable connected to the throttle was binding
