It's Alive!!!!

[1990LXDropTop]

Finally after over 3 months my car is running! I finally got my new throttle body and wrapped up my h/i/c swap which I have been working on and off on (ordering parts a little bit at a time) all winter. The car fired right up, which surprised me. It idled perfect for about 10 min, but then when I went to drive it, it began to die out. It starts sputtering and surging when ever I put it in gear and give it a little gas. I still need to play with it. I have not set my tps or timing. I simply dropped my dist. in with the balancer at 10BTC on the compression stroke and set the rotor to terminal #1. And I just bolted the TPS down without setting it, because I couldn't find my multimeter. I'm just happy it's finally running!!! Now to fix the little things and get a tune! I'm leaking a little coolant from the waterneck, but oh well. I'll fix it tomorrow...

Harbor freight sells a cheapo for $4.99, I set mine to .94 and it idles around 1000-1100, I cleaned out the IAC and reset the computer by leaving the battery unhooked for 1 hr. Oh well.

Good news that it at least started.

That reminds me that I need to check my timing.
