I tried setting the timing this afternoon as per Bentley manual but I couldn't get the idle low enough, the manual says 850 rpm I could only get it down to 1200 or there abouts
I disconnect both vac lines from the distributor and plugged them.
Dis plugs disconnected and plugged together.
I am obviously doing something wrong I'm just not sure what?

2.1 DJ idle problems - a whole new can of worms! For me anyway
Probably best to get your nose stuck into:
2.1 DJ Digijet ItchyInfo
Could be as simple as adjusting the idle switch through tracking down air leaks to troubleshooting baffling electronics. That 1,200 rpm value is significant although I can't remember why for the moment.
Iv'e got mine sorted now bar an irritating need to occasionally flick the throttle to settle the throttle butterfly into place - this with a slack throttle cable and what appears to be a good throttle body.

Re: DJ ignition timing
The idle problem is only with one of the vac lines to the fuel regulator disconnected. The throttle body is a billet go westy one that has about 3000km on it.
I may have got to the bottom of it now I think. Thanks.
