First of all, the specs: 92 Festy, 87 323 B6 w/ proper injectors, 92 323 ECU, Festy VAF. Timing has not been set yet.
So, I've got the B6 in the car, and it runs like a hot-damn, but there's a problem. I've noticed that until the car gets completely warmed up, it idles at almost 2000rpm. Once it's warmed up, it's idling at around 1000, which is a little on the high side.
I've also noticed some pretty bad gas mileage so far. I poured $20 into the tank 3 days ago, and it's almost gone. I know I've put some mileage on, but not enough to drink that much. I've noticed it's running a bit rich, as well, but not so much as it really stinks like gas; just enough to dirty up the inside of the tailpipe.
What I need then is some advice on setup. Can getting the timing setup affect the gas mileage or idle very much? Is the fact that I'm using the Festiva VAF, as opposed to the 323 VAF having some consequence?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
