The engine runs great - once I figured out the starter CLANKING issue (last post) the car started! Runs smooth. All of the cylinders are 130+ lbs/sqi - YEA! So it seems that the odometer is correct at 20K miles.

When the engine runs, it runs VERY rich - seems to be vacuum related. So I plugged all of the holes and it still runs rich.

1. I know the Manifold Pressure Sensor is not working - failed the vacuum test (ordered the bellows from Tangerine.

2. The de-accelerator valve is not connected to the throttle body, the RIGHT ANGLE connector to the throttle body is missing...

Can anyone point me to a vendor that has that part? Hate to try and fabricate this part........

Post some pictures or cut and paste picture from PET.

If the MPS is leaking, it will think it is seeing high manifold pressure (lots of air going in) at all times and will run rich. There's a decent chance that is covering up some other issues as well, but you will have to deal with the MPS problem first.
