Putting it back together correctly, ...now she won't hold an idle Options

[rigglet]

Ok...here's the history.

I've owned this car for about 6 months. All I want out of it at the moment is a decent occasional driver. Starting next winter I plan on doing a complete tear down and restore. So anyway...when I got the car one of the POs had removed or modified a lot of the FI parts. The air cleaner had been replaced with a paper "hi-proformance" model, the AAR had been removed, "non-essential" vacuum hoses had been removed or modified. For example both vacuum hoses on the distributor connected to a 'T' connection which ran back to the front of the throttle body. So I've gathered up the missing FI parts and picked up a bunch of vacuum hose and have been re-running things properly. I also had to clean and relube my distributor because the plates were stuck.

I completed all of that this weekend. The timing has only been statically set as I can't get it to idle so it's difficult to dynamically set it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The only "problem" I can find is that my battery has died since the car has sat for quite a while. It will start with a jump, but unless I keep the throttle open I cannot get it to idle.

I'm open for any ideas and suggestions. I'm right on the brink of being able to drive her, but I just can't quite get there.

BTW, before I started replacing FI parts and vacuum hoses it ran fine.
