ok i'll try that. it starts great though. only two maybe three revolutions before it starts. it just takes like 
5-8 whole minutes before it idles down. is that normal. My other vehicles are F.I so i might be worried for nothing.
thanks for the response I'll take whatever help I can get

2-3 minutes at fast idle should be plenty, unless it's really cold. Even then, goosing the pedal should let it click down a step or two after a couple of minutes.

5 minutes fast idle on average. Even if I gas it it wont drop off the fast idle. after about 3 minutes if I gas it then it will drop some but still not all the way. but it will drop off after 5 minutes by itself
1000-1100 rpm at first(cold)
next step down 800-900(after 2-3 minutes or if i gas it)
warmed up 650-725rpm
in gear warmed up 500rpm

oh its an auto(th 350)
