this is rather embarrassing but i will share anyways...
I noticed that during my intermittent start then die issues the car simply was not getting enough fuel so i adjusted my cranking enrichment and warmup enrichment and that helped but not enough. i knew something had to be wrong.
well....turns out putting two gallons of gas in a brand new complete fuel system simply is not enough. i put another 3.5 in it and it fired right up and did not stall. i then adjusted the cranking and warmup enrichment values back to sane numbers.
I'm now dealing with a really high idle (2200ish). i verified the iac was full closed and unplugged it and turned off iac control on the ms. i also manually adjusted the throttle stop down. i was able to get a high 1700 low 1800 idle. I'm thinking maybe timing related? I currently dont have radiator hoses/coolant in the car so ive never let it run more than like 7 seconds.
Before i get too crazy making ms adjustments i'm going to get coolant in the car and let it idle until it reaches operating temperature and see where my idle goes from there. Of course no one locally carries the upper and lower hoses for this car so i have to wait for them to come in
