I had the same problem with a 2.4, happened all of a sudden, I never did find the problem, but I've always wondered what it was. I thought it might be a sealing ring and pulled it apart, I was hoping that was it...but no! That was after changing all electronics, changed intake and carbs. I'll be watching this closely!!!

FWIW, in a perfect world.... at "idle" all the carbs would be/should be "closed". AND, the timing of the ignition is going to determine idle speed. ie: advance timing would raise the rpms and retarding timing is going to reduce timing. All with-out the carb butterflys coming into play...because you adjusted them closed!! Well, are they???? The center carb roller should not be touching the cam and if you loosen the top and bottom carb vertical link screws, leave them loose, run the engine, and perhaps giving each carb linkage a "blip" to get the springs to bounce each butterflys back to a full closed position. Now you know they are closed as each carbs spring tension is keeping them closed and not a miss-adjusted linkage you "thought" was correct!!!!. And, as you run it on the flusher or @ the dock, you can tighten the top screw, check to make sure the idle speed remains the same, do the bottom screw and monitor the speed. Now you know the carbs are closed, because you check'd them not just visually (and often quickly) but by monitoring the idle speed in "real world" conditions. My point is that you may have thought you got it right by loosening and tightening the carb linkage staticly but I just don't trust myself to always be 100% accurate. And sometimes cranking down on the phillips screws actually may bump the linkage to be "out of spec" . So, if in doubt, loosen all the carb screws and leave them be loose and run the motor, then tighten..then you know! Man, can I be long winded or what!!
