MTBE gasoline additive causing high idle???

The cause of my rough idle/run was caused by a torn carb diaphram.I
replaced them both and it runs much smoother. Still I can't get it to
idle under 1400 RPM. Thats with the idle screws backed off. A friend of
mine swears it's because we use MTBE as an additive in our gas in
Connecticut. Has anyone else heard of MTBE causing high idles??? I think
this additive is mixed in with all brands in CT.
