After checking everything, I pulled off the new plus wires, and put on some old one's from my 2.4, and the car started. But I still have CIS issues.

System pressure is good at 70 PSI. My control pressure is 30 PSI, and, will not go up any when the engine warms up. Pressure bleed down is within reasonable limits. I am using the procedures outlined by Jim Williams in his very insightful CIS Primer. I have read every freaking post on CIS on this board (well, almost). This is not the usual failure mode of the warm up regulator.

The car hunts at idle until it gets warmed up really well, and still hunts a bit then. The car has always run rich. I can't find any vacuum leaks. I'm going to try and clean out the WUR and see if its blocked up or something. I hate to randomly change parts.

I love how Bentley says "change it with a known good one", like I have a basketful of 1978 SC Bosch warmup regulators lying around.
