Now the car runs good EXCEPT it idles VERY high... I have done the following:

Replaced both TBI Base Gaskets again.
Checked for vacuum leaks
Rechecked vacuum hose connections and routing

I THINK it could be either:

Bad IAC Valve or valves
Bad Temp Sensor

Unless you guys have other ideas?

Next question:

My lower radiator hose is never hot? I have run the car for 20 or so minutes but the lower hose doesn't really get hot...

I have a new:

radiator
new upper and lower hoses
new heater control valve
new heater hoses
new thermostat
new radiator cap

I am going to try to disconnect the upper hose and pour some antifreeze down it to try and get proper flow. The upper hose gets to about 220 degrees using a inferred temp gun.

I realize that the top of the radiator is below the level of the thermostat so the odds of a vapor/air bubble is probable...

Any other ideas?

Thanks so much for all your help...

I feel like Im almost there!!
