My friends 91 GT is having a few issues, that I am trying to fix but cant quite.

It will idle fine most the time, except right after I start, you have to play wtih the gas pedal to get it to idle...then it will idle for a couple minutes, and die. I relearned the idle, set the TPS to .95, cleaned the IAB, replaced the TPS, BUT the code reader wont work on it, it wants to die when I try to run it, and wont do anything. I tried KEOR and KOEO and the code reader wont work on either. It will work on any other car though...Its also down on power for some reason.

Any Help??

Thanks

What about the MAF sensor?

This site has some good ideas for idle issues but you have tackled most.
