Kevin, It seems unlikely that there is a causal relationship between replacing your cat and having a high idle after warm-up. Did you have this idle condition before you replaced the cat? As far as adjustments, this is a matter of confusion for many mechanics. There are adjustment screws on the air intake manifold, but in the case of the DeLorean, these screws are not supposed to be used. This is a feature that was carried over from older configurations that was obsolete by the time these engines were put in the DeLorean. Still, that doesn't stop some mechanics from trying to adjust them anyway. The only proper way to adjust them is to make sure that all 3 are lightly seated all the way down. The idle is controlled by a computer that is programmed to keep it in the 750/950 rpm range. Since you are getting 1000 rpm, this is a bit high. The most obvious thing to check (after seating the 3 adjustment screws) is to make sure that the idle speed mircoswitch is closing. This is a switch that senses when your foot is off the accelerator and tells the idle speed computer to activate. There are various things that can stop this switch from working. Check it out and let us know what you find. Walt Tampa, FL
