My CTS 2300 doesn't have the BD264 in it, but for the BD-282 it says the
firing order is 153624.  Same firing order for the BD-308.  6 degrees BTDC
for the 282 and 3 degrees BTDC for the 308.  No idle RPM given.

Do you actually have official specs that say that low of an idle rpm or are
you trying to remember? For now I'd say don't try to make it idle that low
if it doesn't want to.

Maybe play with the timing a little too to see if it helps doing that.
Also check for vacuum leaks!
