Rebuilt TBI. Replaced Idle air control sensor (duralast AC106) and the throttle control sensor/module (Duralast EC1033P). Starts high idle within 5 Minutes idles down. I noticed it is running rich and has a slight but irritating miss. Advise

make sure there is no vacuum leak at front and rear of tbi unit. if hose going to map sensor is soft replace it. normally when iac is replaced you have to drive 40 mph to set it. then scan for codes.

Appreciate the quick response. Performed the functions and discovered a sticky throttle cable. The cable sticks when cold. After it engine is operating temperature it is fine. Not sure the next step. By the way is there a special
Timing light to check the timing?
