Idle problem
My 79 302 66K miles, seems to want to idle high...upon cold start up, which is normal, but also when warm. I need to give it a good shot of gas a few times to bring it back to low idle. Once I put in drive and go down the driveway, if I put in neutral, it goes back into a high idle. (not as high as before, but still not normal idle). I turned down the idle adjustment and that seemed to help a bit, also seems to behave normally after a long drive, but the problem still persists.
I also noticed this past fall on my last drive for the season, I used the defrost (something I never do) and before I knew it the engine temp gauge was at it's max...turned off the heater and it went back to normal...this car is only driven about 1000 miles a year so there's bound to be little issues....any ideas?
Thanks
