New Owner W/ Problems Neex Input

So I been lurking the forum for a while just reading and reading trying to figure this out. I have a 87 notchback that ive owned for about 2 weeks. When I got it, no problems started fine. I swapped for a bigger throttle body and cold air intake now having problems starting. I replaced cap, rotor, coil, plugs, ignition module, reset timing, seafoamed the car after I replaced the plugs it fired up fine and that was the last time. It will start with starter fluid and stay running and I can drive it without issue. When I was resetting the timing and spinning the distributor I got shocked a couplw times from my hand ontop of the dist. Dunno if that is normal. When I ran my eec koeo I got codes: 22, 23, 85, 96 when I did my koer it popped 6cyl then codes 21, 23, 12. I am not surr what to do at this point just very frustrated. Any help is much appreciated.

jcgafford - thank you, I have the codes but this will definently help being on the phone. I don't have a computer at home so sometimes I can't open certain things everything is done through my phone.

Noobz347 - I finally got the car started by replacing the throttle position sensor. Only throwing code 12 now which is saying my idle is too high. When I checked my timing at idle it appears I'm ~10 degrees advanced. I noticed 2 timing marks. There is a straight white line and what appears to be a man made hash mark. I'll have to check out the salt and pepper shakers.. I bought a Chilton so I am trying to learn everything I can and appreciate the input. I was converted over from the Volkswagen world this is quite a bit different. Especially how much cheaper the parts are, haha.

I am semi-convinced my TOB is going out but I can't be 100% sure. I hear a very faint "squeak, squeak, squeak* while its running and any type of pressure applied to the clutch pedal even lightly pressing on it with 1 finger will take the noise away. I am not sure if that is the throwout bearing or bad clutch cable adjustment. Any input would be appreciated. I am pretty sure I am running the stock clutch cable and am not looking to cut the plate or the hook. Is there anyway I can slip a type of grommet behind the the stopper in the firewall to help out is that a completely bad idea?

Btw, I appreciate any and all input from you guys.

Ill make a video tomorrow and post it

Did you get the squeeking bearing fixed?

Not yet, I am not 100% sure its my TO bearing. I will drive it tonight with a video camera recording and see if possibly it can be heard over that. It started squeaking when I started it up. Drove it around for a bit no more squeaking, after some hard driving it starting squeaking then got quieter. Once I pulled in to park it got louder and I shut the car off. Once I get the turn signals working thats my next big task besides reinstalling the molding and interior pieces.
