Default S/c cobra idle

My idle is set about 1100-1200, seems if i set it any lower my car just stalls out at idle, anyone have any ideas or is that a normal rpm idle for a s/c car.

Yea i dont know if its a S/C thing or what, but is the idle is below 1k or around 1k, it will idle then bog down shoot back up then stall and all i smell is fuel, i thought it was spark cut at first, but apparently its lack of air flow.

sounds like you may have a vacuum leak. and idle that high just isn't right. check your hoses and all joints to make sure they're tight

the idle is that high because i set it that high, any lower the car stalls at idle after about 30 seconds
