I have a 93 and just installed a track heat with 1" spacer, it idles 800 to 1000. Did you replace all of your vacuum hoses with new ones? <edited><editID>Sean</editID><editDate>37843.9903472222</editDate></edited>

I think buzz might have hit it...but you want it .94-.99
make sure there is no vacuum leaks...retighten all bolts
