I just got done changing all my hoses, belt, waterpump, thermostat, oil, antifreeze etc.
Afterwards it was hard to start and ran rough as hell. When I give it gas, it boggs down and idles rough.
What did I miss or do wrong?
I had the gas lines off. Would that have anything to do with (air in line or does that just get push back to the tank by the return line) it almost feels like a fuel problem.
I'm no mech. I just want to do what ever I can by myself. Thats what I get for trying. BTW it is a 1990 L-98 6 sp.
And ran fine before I started fuel inj. Are a yr old and it was going to get a tune up next if i get this fixed.
Also I saw on line to put dilectric under all the grounds to ground them better is this right or could that be my problem. Thank you guys. Please help.
Its been off the road for 3 wks and I am in need of some fun

Most of us will agree that helping other CF'rs is easier when we can understand what your trying say.
Seems to me that your problem is not fuel related, but may be timing or a vacuum leak. Might try looking at all the lines and determine if any have been left disconnected or were damaged during your maintenance. The hard plastic lines are easily cracked when handled.
Can you describe why you disconnected the fuel lines?
Also please help me understand what this means; "And ran fine before I started fuel inj. Are a yr old and it was going to get a tune up next if i get this fixed."

A dielectric material is a substance that is a poor conductor of electricity. You don't need or want it under the grounds.

It has nothing to do with English majors. The lack of line breaks, spacing, and capitalization makes your post difficult to read and comprehend. It is not about misspelled words. Those of us that don't read "text speak" have a hard time.

Most of the time it's problems with the plugs or wires when someone does their own maintenance on them for the first time.

Rough running after upgrades.
This is a long shot but it happened to me when I did almost the same work on the cooling system. Check to be sure that you have the Mass Airflow Sensor connected back correctly. What happened to me was that I did not disconnect the MAS when I took it off to do the work. Somehow the one of the wires got separated in the connector when I laid it aside and it looked OK but was not connected at all. When I repaired the connection at the connector it ran like a dream. Again, just a long shot.
Good luck

As for your written English, I meant to help by translating your original post. Some of the noobs here type like they're texting. Personally I find texting abbreviations difficult to cypher and understand. Thus our understanding of your problem becomes complicated.
