ok i got the car to idle at 750rpm when warmed up. it doesn't want to idle when cold just stalls. it also won't idle when rpms are coming down stalls. i get some nice hesitation and bucking at part throttle also. i don't have to adjust a 89-91 TPS right ? at WOT its smoother than silk. i'm pretty sure the timing is set correctly now. doesn't look like i have anymore vacuum leaks. could this be caused by my fuel tank gasket not sealing 100%. i'm either getting a spare fuel tank or a fuel cell... deciding soon. i just want this to run like it used to

I forget the color of the plug, but it will be the one that the TB stops pushing on first.

ok. i'll check it after work. i think my partial throttle hesitation might be from the gas tank issue i'm having. i emailed somebody to see if they have a tank. i have to ask ito also. if my FD won't be ready for this weekend i want to bring my TII

i have the custom ito spec TID remember. there was only one unused hole which we capped off from the stock BOV. i'm gonna spray some carb cleaner around the engine and see if i can find some vacuum leaks
