Rough Idle, help

2 weeks ago I git stranded on the highway. I replaced the ICM but at the time I didn't have any dilectric grease. So on Sat I removed the ICM and gooped the bottom up with dilectric grease. Now it idles rough and doesn't seem to have the power. What did I do?

Re: Rough Idle, help

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak, or a wire messed up somewhere.

crossed wires i betcha, check your plug wires on the distributor to make sure they are in the correct order.
