Ranger 2.8 with Holley 07448, idles at 3000rpm

[sergeh]

Hey
I put a 2.8L engine in my '89 ranger. Done the duraspark conversion. carb sucked so i put in a holley 07448. The engine idles at 3-4 thousand rpm. Idle is open just enough to keep it running. Tried frigging with the jets, even with them leaned in 100% the engine will still run up to 4k rpm from the accelerator pump if you pump the throttle.
I'm guessing jets and accel. pump nozzel is too big?

anyone ?

thanks

we figured it out. The gasket wasnt covering the the intake/egr thing completely and air was coming in.
