the high idle at 2000 rpm is a clue, if it is caused by ingition, then a high idle would indicate too much advance, so with a timing light, make sure your advance is nice and steady.
other failures of ignition would not cause a high rpm. vacuum leaks woudl cause a hgih idle generally ignition failure would not (unless the failure mode is too much advance. give the mechanical advance, vaccum retard a once over. also probably time to test the head temp sendor (since it is intermittant, wiggle the wire as you ohm it out) you might have more than one problem at the same time???? and my favorite D-jet failure is intermittant head temps sendor, easy to test, painless really. dont see how a fualty condensor would increase rpms at idle, but wrong / drifting timing would be a thing to look at |
