16valves of mild affection.

[nicadimus@hotmail.com (Elijah R)]

Ok, timming is finally right on. But I still have the idle problem, it likes 
to idel at about 1700 rpm when pulling up at lights and such. If I ease it 
into second a little and roll forward a tad, or if I rool up in like forth 
untill it almost stalls before I depress the clutch, the idel will drop down 
to 800 rpm and idle pretty smooth. I have checked for vac leaks via ether 
spray and found none (intake, an vac lines). It also can be hard to start 
still, engine turns well, got good spark and fuel.  If I let it sit five or 
ten minutes, it will start, (flooding maybe?. I have had the car running 
about a month now, it has all now ignightion from coil to plug, I haven't 
done anything with any fuel injection stuff, except new o-rings for the 
injectors (had a clean spray pattern so I didn't replace em) Otherwise the 
car runs great now that its timming is finnaly on the mark!!
Thanks for all the helpp trying to remady my problems :)
