Here's an odd one. Today I decided to take care of the pesky oil leak from my CAS. I replaced the o-ring and it seems to have done the job. I marked the original position of the cas before removal and placed it back in the original position on installation. But afterward my car would idle around 900 insted of the usual 650. I let it sit in the driveway running while looking under the hood. It is already warmed up from the drive back from the parts store. As it idles and I'm inspecting it, the cooling fan kicks on and the car dies. I restarted it and a minute later it did it again. I figured maybe something with the current so I turned on the air and lights but no stalling, idle drops about 100 rpms or so though. Any ideas? It runs fine though on the road. BTW if it helps, I gave it a seafoam treatment this morning, slowly feeding through vaccuum line above tb. Smoked like hell for a while but is fine now, also filled the tank with premium and put 1/2 a bottle of seafoam in there too this morning. 2.0 n/t
 
i agree....set ignition timing and idle over again. That should fix the problem.

goodluck
