Car fires without a problem, but idles quite rough, and runs very rich, so much so that when the it settles down to normal idles, it floods out. MPS was replaced with a used but tested one recently. When it was last running ( a year ago) it ran a little rich, but nothing like this.

As of now, the CHT is not connected. When it is connected, the RPMs jump up to 4000 and stay there. When the CHT is bypassed with direct grounding of the harness, the results are the same as with the sensor being disconnected.

I have no reason to suspect the injectors, FPR, Decel Valve, or the MPS.
Any and all advice is welcome.
