Might be the idle air control motor. It opens and closes a little valve to control the amount of air that gets in to control the idle speed.

have replaced plugs, plug wires ,dist and when all back together the idle was way to high 2500 plus hard to say how much the tach is broke. Checked for vacum leaks and none found.Dont see how IAC can make it idle that high

the distributor was the issue - decided to replace plugs and wires since intake was off - to do this at the same time
