    surging idle and burning rich...

    this is continued from my last posting since i've fixed a few problems i think it needed another title...



    So i borrowed a timing light and got it set perfectly at 12 degrees ...as well as checked my cam timing with the light as well...

    OH, i found that a tps wire had partially pushed itself out when i pushed the connector on, so thats fixed

    It still wants to stall out under a load!!!!!!!

    Its burning very rich with lots of white smoke and has a surging idle. I'm sure there are no vacuum leaks...

    I REALLY REALLY need to figure this out in the next day or 2 or other wise i'm going to have to be taking an hour and a half long bus ride 2 times a day to and from work


    What else do i need to check?!?!?!?!?!

    I haven't read the other post but have you verified your fuel pressure at your fuel rail? Does the pressure drop 10psi when connected to vacuum versus disconnected?
