I have just completed a major service, including timing belt, and water pump and both idler pulleys, and valve clearance with 6 shims changed out. I changed out the starter too as i was having odd starter issues, so i have had quite a lot fo the engine apart!
It going again, which is always a relief. However its idling at 1500 rpm and some times hunting. If i put it in gear it drops to 1100 rpm roughly, and it drives ok more or less. However it feels like its pulling when you are at a junction or lights. Not driven it much since rebuild, and I may just take it on a longer drive see if it settles down.
I have checked I got all the vaccum hoses back and verified there are no cables not plugged in. Engine sounds ok, and pulls well enough, just the idle. I am thinking throttle body because its been sitting, but wondered if there were any helpful suggestions. when the TB has been off before the idle was drifting around and never steady, this seems to be very steady just at the wrong speed.
