High Idle, CAS and HKS 272's

[hippiekiller]

Ok, long story short one of my "friends" swapped in my new 6 bolt for me. Big mistake. It runs. Idle is between 2.5 and 3k. I think I can get this to come down with adjusting the biss screw. Not entirely sure. It is a brand new 1g throttle body from Steve Monroe so I know it is good to go. However, my main problem is where my dumbass friend put the CAS. Instead of the bolt holes being like . . they are : or 90 degrees from what it should be. I played around with it a bit and if I push it too far it starts to sputter and back fire. Not what I want obviously. My main question is what the hell do I need to do to get the CAS back to where it should be. I am not sure what the hell he did or didn't do. I know the car does run and other than playing with the CAS a bit I haven't had a chance to do much other than run the vacuum lines the way they should be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I do have link, but nothing has been adjusted or logged in there as I don't want the car running with the CAS like it is. I am just trying to get the car back to my place in running order so I can figure out what the hell else was f'ed up.

You need a timing light to set the base timing. You also need to ground the timing check wire, around the battery on the firewall and has a cap on the plug. As for the idle I think the throttle cable is set to tight, so the throttle body is being held open.

Thanks John,

Throttle cable is possible. I had thought about that, but haven't had a chance to check it. It was a long ass week finishing my Master Thesis and now dealing with this crap.

Anybody want to come to Hudson and help me get base timing down? I do not have a timing light nor the ability to do that.

What year is the car? What type of CAS is on it, the one that goes under the cam gears on 2g, or a 1g style on the passenger side of the VC? I'm not seeing how the CAS could be 90* off, there would be nowhere for the bolts to thread into.

In link you should be able to ground the timing.

[hippiekiller]

Car is a '95 with a six bolt. CAS is a green top. It isn't the 2g style. And yes, you are correct, there is no where for one of the bolts. How and why the fuck he did that I am not sure and at this point don't really want to deal with the dumb ass to find out.

Maybe the CAS is 180* off?

[hippiekiller]

It is a possibility I am thinking as well. Actually that is one of the things I was thinking and then another member from WIdsm said it as well. Regardless, base timing is going to be off so getting that done and checking that will be in order.

Like I said it runs, and quite well other than the high idle. I just don't want to be driving it with my CAS sitting like that.

If the CAS is 180 out the car would not run, well I have not tried it but my guess is it will not run.

For those that didn't believe me. And yes, it barely runs. Hopefully it will all be sorted out on Saturday.

Is it a 1g head? if so there is no reason why the cas could not be bolted on the right way. And that looks to be a ways off, so I guess it can run being WAY off. That is one of the better "make it work" I have seen.
