Dieseling/fast idle solenoid

[blykins]

Not really being defensive, pretty aggressive cam with a good bit of spring pressure. We are pulling oil pressure off the opposite end of the block from the oil pump. I generally see about 30-35 lbs at idle pulling pressure off the oil filter adapter.

Jeff, what plugs are you running? Did you try a different heat range?

As a last resort I could concede to lowering the idle if you do juice it periodically while it's idling, but I would like to exhaust all other options first.

Brent, I think I'm getting pretty close to exhausting all of my options, having maxed out my initial timing and trying the solenoid. I hadn't really thought of cooler plugs. Would those make a significant difference? Right now, the way my plugs read is that they are clean with a slight bit of light brown on the electrode and ceramic, but the exposed ring at the end of the threaded body seems to have some black baked on oily deposits, which I though meant the plug was cool, if anything. Given that data, should I try a different plug? Thanks.
