Default quick question: idle problems.

searched and found no answer about mini me swap idle.

just finished a mini me swap.
i finally got the crank pulley to come off. and did the timing as best as we could.

we start the car, it had a hard time starting. then it finally starts! whew**

it idles high for a couple of seconds.
then it goes down to about 1500. i dont know if this is normal when its cold [car not warmed up].
-added to that factor im using a msd ignition blaster ss. [which im not sure if its hooked up right, doing a research on it now]
-new plugs and wires.
-all harnesses are secured to where it goes.


now my question is, would advancing or retarding my distributor fix my idle??
also had a hard time starting, which could be the battery??

anyone? help is much appreciated.

but over all it pulls pretty good for a first time mini me swap.

you tried adjusting the screw on the throttle body? try turning this or messing with your throttle cable to make the idle drop down a bit. it has to be something that needs adjusting...nothing that i can think of will make it idle high. do you have any cel's?
