CIS HELP - Bad Fuel Distributor?

[jsoutherland16 at comcast.net (Jeff Southerland)]

Sounds like the control plunger is stuck in the fuel dizzy. Take it off the
air flow meter assembly and see if it drops back down.  If you have to pull
it back down, than you need to take it out, clean it good, and then see how
it works. To remove it, break all the injector lines loose, don't disconnect
them, just loosen them a little. Then take out the three screws that hold
down the fuel dizzy. They will be hard to get out, just be very careful not
to strip them. Do not attempt to take the fuel dizzy apart, you will forever
regret it. Be very careful with the control plunger, the slightest nick can
render it useless. You cannot swap another one in it's place either, they
are a match pair- the CP and the fuel dizzy.  HTH,  Jeff
