Carb'd 2.0
When the engine is cold i can rev it high and i comes back to 1000 quick.
When the engine is hot and i rev or drive it above 3000 rpm the engine will not go down to idle.The engine will stay at 2500 or higher .
when i drive the car it will not pick up speed until i have it above 2500.
It also diesels just a tad.
I think i may be running rich, (that explains the slow pick up and the dieseling)
But why the high idle.
*i just adjusted valves
* i have leaks(intake)
*new plugs
* i had retard the timing so the car will not idle at 1500rpm
any ideas
this car has been giving me a
thanks
If you have air leaks, you're not running rich, but lean. Dieseling is also a sign of lean running, not rich. You say you've retarded the timing, but not what you'vre retarded it to. Too much advance or retard is a bad thing. The high idle is almost certainly caused by the air leaks, as are some of your other problems. Fix those, and several of your problems will go away.
You can't just randomly poke at things hoping it will get better. Go at it systematically, fixing everything until everything is correct. No air leaks, ignition timing set to the proper (and known) values, etc.
