Well, I had to richen it up from where I screwed it up even more I should have said I had turned it counter clockwise so much it was jumping all over the place and shutting down but I was doing it with the air filter housing off which was causing me major headaches. I did replace all of the vacuum hoses before I did this trying to fix the idle that way so maybe it was a combination fix??? I also replaced the water temp sensor. Now, after last night, I think my heater core went out It was really cold here in So Cal so I was running the defroster and something started burning (smelled like plastic) and I could see puffs of smoke coming from the vent outside under the wiper arm base. Then, the nice warm air turned cooler. This morning it would not heat up at all. I'm bummed.
I should also say that my car starts right up now and does not need to crank a little like it usually does so that is very nice. However, when you fix one thing on this old car though, "snap, crack!" there goes another thing!
