(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Jon. Get the timing checked right away. From the video that idle is very high. How high was it 3 or 4 thousand rpm? Check for a MAJOR vacuum leak. When my car idled that high I chased all the vacuum lines and it ended up being a cracked intake plenum. Good luck. Glad you got it running. A little fine tuning and you are there.

QUOTE(Phoenix 914-6GT @ Apr 22 2009, 03:58 PM)  Yes, it can also make it hard to start like the sound it was making before it caught. So find someone that knows how to set timing and get it done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) other culprits can be one of the vacuum hoses off - dumps air into the plenum. Don't go messing with the ECU until you check out both of them. |

Glad you got it running. A little fine tuning and you are there. I actually don't know what it was idling at at all. My tach isn't hooked up all the way yet. Another thing to fix... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I am assuming its around 5 to 6 thousand rpm's. I will definitely check for a vacuum leak and it looks like I need a timing light. I need to find out where the intake plenum is too. |

The black thing that your intake runners get connected to. (this is a pic of one upside down) Plenty of chances for a vaccum leak there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Make sure you have a throttle return spring on it.
