Idle Too High
1987 Ford Ranger, 2.3L 5spd A/C - idles too high a good bit of the time. Not only when engine is cold. Any suggestions where to start? Does this engine have vacuum advance? If so, suggestions on troubleshooting. Thanks for any ideas!

Is this an FI motor or carbed?

Don't know what that is. It is factory original throughout though.

FI is fuel injected, carbed is carburator. Might be an idle speed adjustment, or maybe a stuck choke.

Should be EFI. Sticking IAC perhaps?
