- Thu Oct 02, 2008 4:28 pm #72425 well im happy to announce that the idle is fixed...(remember i bought this car from somebody else)..so i went to auto zone to get plug wires and a new cap and rotor..so i went home and i changed out everything( the rotor was rusted beyond belief)..so i crank the car and its still doing it...so i start looking at what else and i looked the dizzy and it was adjusted all the way forward and the bolts were loose..so i pulled it back and the idle straightened out...completely and its alittle quicker now!!!
