If you cant adjust the idle with the adjustment screw, then you have a bad
vacuum leak somwhere. Check the aux. air regulator. Pull off the hose to the
air cleaner and put your thumb over it. See if that makes a difference.
Check the hose from the Aux air reg. to the intake plenum. Make sure it is
not off or cracked.
Make sure the throttle cable is adjusted properly.
Check the timing.
