If it's a heat issue, you could try running the car without the hood for a short period of time.  Let it get to temp and take it out, then see if it idles any better.

Diesiling = too much fuel/too rich or timing.

I know.... I may have to look into timing again. Plugs look great and I can seem to find the spot on acc. pump adjustment where it does not have the bog and wont diesel.   :clueless:
