    MFI high idle

    After fixing the oil leaks at the thermostat I took the 71S out for an hour run. She ran really well and the handling is outstanding. I’m getting to the end of dialing her in and completing the last remaining punch list items. The gas gauge was only registering 1/2 so I removed the sender and reinstalled. Now working properly. I also have to check the emergency brake as the lever is coming up too far.

    One item that I need help on is the idle. The car starts well from cold and the idle is about 1K. However, after it is warm the idle increases to 1600. On hot restart it does the same. The cross throttle rod arm is fully seated and the butterflies are fully closed. The cold start lever is fully down and not engaged. The car is stock 2.2 MFI. Engine rebuilt including rebuilt dizzy and throttle bodies. I suspect its been like this since the rebuild.

    What would I start to check ?
