I retorqued the head and reset the valve clearances after Mike Aube
did a nice job replacing my car's head (among other fixes).
Unfortunately this has given me 2 new problems, a)oil leaks (for
which the solution is obvious, try again) and b) I lost the cold idle.
Each time I try to start the car, everything seems fine at first with
the engine going to normal idle speed, then after 4 to 6 seconds the
speed starts dropping, and it soon stalls once it gets below 500 rpm.
Once the engine is warm all is fine.
Now the only way I could figure out to get the valve cover on and
off was by loosening the white plastic gadget on the throttle plate
shaft that cradles the throttle wire. When I was done it seemed to
only pop into one position so I don't see how I could have changed its
alignment or anything, but I'm not 100% sure. I also had to remove
one of the 2 screws for the bracket that holds the throttle cable in
alignment with the white gadget.
Any suggestions on what a neophyte can do to trace this problem out?
TIA,
Dave Towle
