idle yet again

["K. Creason" <dmc4687@xxxx>]

Ok- high idle question for the list yet again.

I've check the linkage and it seems ok; the cable could be sticky but I
think there is probably something else going on.
I've adjusted the two micro-switch screws so that the stop screw doesn't
contact at all and the switch is getting depressed, but yet I've still
pushed on it and it has changed idle slightly. I've pushed harder on the
throttle linkage arm and actually had the car die on me. I thought that was
weird.

I turned the ignition on without starting the car and the idle speed
regulator was buzzing pretty darn loud. How loud should it be? I can't
remember it being that loud before. Not sure if the
right-side-angry-hornet-frequency valve is buzzing because it's so loud.

I do have a vacuum leak under the throttle plates area... I replaced o-rings
about a month ago and it's been squealing at me ever since but the high-idle
problem is new the last couple of weeks. I think it is one of the washers on
the allen-head bolts.
I'm going to deal with that sucker first, if I can.

Input appreciated.
