yeah but he doesnt do mail order anymore. What's your response to my reply earlier in which I said " just got TDC.............

after I got set and took for a drive it felt pretty good. I must say though that my car idles fine about 850-900 while sitting there. When I take off it seems to idle about 700-750 and almost sounds as if it wants to cut off. Stopped to end of driveway before taking off and it seemed as if it almost wanted to cut off so i gave it some gas. At next stop sign about 3 miles up road it did fine at stop sign and pretty much at other stop signs on the 7 mile trip.

I checked tps when got home and it was at 1 volt. I just dropped it down to .98 and havent driven yet. Everything else appears to be fine. I'm thinking I might need to idle up to maybe 1000-1100 and see how it does upon taking off out of the yard. I shouldnt have to do that though, seems it should idle with taking off out of yard at low speed the same as I am sitting there idling?????????

I will take within next few days and see if I have any exhaust leaks under the car like where X pipe meets headers or meets tail pipes. I can't thiink of anything else that I havent already checked out that might be causing it.......

thoughts..........
