well guys, I finally fixed my surging idle problem...a junkyard IAC solved it alright, I cleaned it with brake cleaner as well and it does great but.....
when I drive the car for 20-30min or so and come back an hour or so later and start it.....it barely starts, shakes horribly and dies most of the time unless I rev it. Plus it smokes white.
My idea of the problem is that last time I took off the distributor cap, there was a decent bit of oil inside the distributor cap! What I think is that oil is sitting on the coil and dist. and when I start it...it can get any spark until it warms up and burns the oil off. Because the car does fine AFTER it warms up!!! Am I in need of a distributor O-ring? or new coil? Is it a DIY project?
thanks a lot guys
