I recently replaced the intake gasket as well as the distributor o- ring. I got the top end back together and adjusted the valves as specified by the manual that i have. my problem is that the truck idles incredibly high after setting the timing to 10 degrees before TDC and the truck has absolutley no power. I drove it a mile and it barely got me home. I am hoping that i didnt overtighten the valves, but i think it is looking like i did just that. I dont believe i have a vaccum leak creating high idle, but that would cause my lack of power anyway. would it? i also read from some fellow s10 owners that you need to unhook a bypass wire from the ECM when you set timing. Is this true? can you steer me in the right direction?
