88 First time started in ten years
We just got our 88 started for the first time in ten years. She is running kinda rough though. I’m hoping someone on here can take a look at the video and give us some pointers on which direction we need to go to get her running smoothly. Video will be attached, please give it a watch and let us know what you think. Thank

Perhaps there was an earlier post I did not see, but it may help to know the steps you took to prepare the car for starting. This may eliminate some things people would tell you to check if they are already done.

Motor sounds good to me, not really rough. Assume you have a factory service manual given all the work you did. Now tighten things up per the FSM. Set your base idle (IAC disconnected, distributor timing wire disconnected, etc) to 450 rpm. Check your TPS setting. I'm just hitting the highlights here, again check your FSM for complete tune up. Great work guys on bringing it back to life.
