ok so I did do the timing and I got it down to about 900 rpm in (D) but I noticed that the engine ran hot as hell. also pulled the plunger you are talking about and I found out that the plunger thing was stuck inside it . so I pulled it out , now it moves in and pushes out as if a spring were behind it. not sure if I broke it or fixed it? any ideas on that . also I know that the timing says 12 BTDC but I have a nother problem . there are no numbers on my pully just 7 lines and there are no numbers on the indicator as well it looks like this \/ ( indicator) I I I I I I I (pulley) so now im at a loss where I timed it to and if I did it correctly . thanks for everyones help so far. I would like to be acble to come out on top with this deal as I have only spent about 25 bucks on the equipment to tattoo this guy that gave me the truck in trade.

ok here is an update, so I pulled both the idle solenoid and the coolent temp solenoid and cleaned the crap out of them , no instead of surging the engine just idles at about 1820 rpms. so any ideas on how to bring the idle down?. could it be as simple as a timing issue?

ok so as i posted in my intro , im am not a mechanic but , I will work on my truck if i am giving a direction to go so here is my problem. the truck is a 1987 v6 4x4 the truck Idles at about 1700 rpms and after about 30 seconds it will dip down to about 1500 and then a half a second later go right back up . now I did pull the MAF and cleaned it making sure not to touch or damage the wires and I reinstalled it .. did nothing problem still there. then I replaced every vacuum line , problem still there. checked the ecu code. it gave me code 12 the MAF i rest the computer and started the truck. now it idles at 2000 rpm . and the computer is now telling me the coolant temp sensor code 13. I also did some diggin around on line and someone said it might be the idle control valve. problem is I can't find it to replace it . Im at a loss please someone tell me what the hell im doing wrong , I really like this truck but i have no idea where to start.
