A frind of mine has a 95gt and when it starts it idles like chit and dies, we changed: fuel pump, FPR, filter, plugs, wires, dizzy (my old used one it worked when i took it off) it's installed at TDC with rotor pointed at #1, cap and rotor, injectors, timing should be around 10*, it sounds to me like an ignition problem, what will make a car run like total crap???

I would be lookin more at the idle setting than the ignition, based upon what you posted. I would also check timing since it idles lower with less base timing (retarded timing = lower idle).

Good luck.

Double check if your dizzy is 180 degrees out of whack.

Its happened to the best of us.

How's the ignition coil doing? I recommend an MSD Blaster 2.

What about the TPS? A friend of mine had to change his out due to crappy idle. Have you tried the module?
