I had the same problem, until I realized I wired the plug wires as if the dizzy spun clockwise instead of counter clockwise.

sad thing is i didn't take the wires off the cap, i just pulled the passenger plug wires off the plugs and swung it around to the driver side and left it there until i put it back on

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so the guy that sold me the cobra maf, cobra computer and 24's is a dick. i hope i run into again at one of the meets here locally. cuz i put my old stuff back on and it fired up the first time.

i new i was stabbing it right.

first i plugged my old computer back in and put my pro m cal for 24's back on and it still ran like crap. then i decided to pull the upper and switch my old 24's back on with the pro m maf and my comp stil connected. thats when i ran good.

i'm still having the idle surge when warm so i'm hoping its my pro m maf.

i will put the cobra computer and cobra maf back on tommorrow and see if it runs the same or fixes the idle surge, or worse.

thanks to all that tried to help me.
