I installed a new fuel filter in March 09 at 171K miles. I'm at 175K+ miles now. When I installed the rebuilt distributor, I backed off the idle screw slightly to get the rpms where I needed it to check the timing and left it there. I've noticed that the warm idle is right on at approx. 850-900 rpms when the warm engine is shut off to go shop, or even when refilling at a gas station and restarted after a few minutes(3 times in a row today). I didn't get the erratic up and down idle today, but I wasn't in as much stop and go traffic or sitting at lights for very long. I was idling at 1250rpms at my first stop light after driving 17 miles into town. I'm wondering if I should test my O2 sensor since my CEL is on and off. I can't say for sure yet, but my erratic warm idle problems may be less severe with the rebuilt distributor in place. It starts way better when cold, almost instantly when you hit the key!
