Major Headway!!! Have one more item I need input on
So today we started by checking compression to make sure no issues were deep. Then pulled fuel injectors. A couple of them had a cruddy spray pattern so we cleaned all of them. Also noted when putting plugs back in that an assumption was that the gap was correct new and this was not so. The were all about .015 gapped to much. We then did a valve adjustment. All exhaust valves were around .010 and intakes were probably in the .005 range. We remedied this. The engine now runs 100% much smoother and we were able to adjust dwell and indeed noticed the O2 sensor was working. We now have an issue in that the idle is running at 1025ish. Have completey ohmed out the idle system. One item of interest is the thermosistor is showing open between pins 9 and 11 at the ECU. We had been running the car which may have opened it although from reading in the book I don't know if it is open cold or hot. I was going to ohm out the wires but can't find where this thing lives. I fear it is under the intake? All other wires and the diode checks out. I am down to a problem with the thermosistor or possibly the idle control valve is bad. Or at least I think. Any input on why the idle is where it is?
