Hi Fong,
So let me get his straight..You motor is rebuilt and doesn't idle? It should if it doesn't. Try new plugs and make sure the timing is right. L-1 (right 5 deg mark) via pulley

you should be able to have you motor idle by itself after rebuild with only hours of iddling time... You have some setting that need to be adjusted...
tps?
Cas (timming)
maybe throttle cable is not attached properly... vacume leak!
This is the time to start investigating! There is something keeping your engine from iddling properly! Granted you will need to have it iddle a little high when you get your rebuilt engine for about 250 miles... but after that you should be able to maintain a steatdy 750-800 rock solid iddle!

Is your engine not idling on it's own?
or are you having trouble holding a consistant solid idle?
and if that is the case how many k's do you have on it?

I have wire tied most of the vacuum hoses, and replace injectors' O rings, and insulators. never adjust the TPS. and my friend set the CAS timing for me before he left for vacation. I am working alone now, so I can't check the timing myself, or check for any other problem underhood when I will be inside rev the car. but the throttle cable is hooked up right. so, I was thinking about the motor might need some more time to break in. that is why I want to check with you guys about how long I need to run the motor in order to make it idle itself(assuming no leaks).
thanks

My TII's engine idles by itself just fine. I haven't put a single mile on it yet, and I only have about 5 minutes of run-time on it as well.
It's flooding like a bitch though. I drained a GALLON and a 1/2 of oil/gas from the sump yesterday. It was pouring from between the oil pan and block.
I wish the goddamn thing would just be problem free.

ummmm, interesting. I guess that couple things could happen here:
1)my motor might still need a few hour to break in in order to get good compression to idle on its own. I just ran it for an hour or less.
2)vacuum leak? unlikely, cuz I wire tired most of the hoses.
3)TPS or timing. (I will check this weekend if possible)
I wonder if I can adjust the fast idle screw? what about BAC? so far, I don't see any big smoke come out after it warms up. and the engine starts easy every time.
thanks

2) You can have a vacume leak from other places other than the hoses!
3)I think that it may be your TPS in this particular case. Also when you rev it to 2000 does it sound like it is reving properly or does it sound kinda choppy?
I would definitely get a hand from somebody to hold the engine at 1500 2000 while you have you head under the engine bay litneing for hissing (vacume leak) unever idling (bad timming) or anything else that may or may not be right. that way you can also adjust your iddle for now while she/he is holding the iddle for you.
Hope this info helps.

it could possibly be leaking between;
upper intake to lower intake
or
lower intake to block
or upper intake to throttle body
these are potential vacume leaks if were not sealed properly with new gaskets! But you can use carburator cleaner to try and find the vacume leak (hopping there is one)
