The car either idles at 2200, or it idles at 600, and jumps between 600-900 and feels like its going to stall. Any suggestions? I also installed new plugs, NGK TR-6 (gapped at 55) and new taylor wires. I'm pretty sure I reattached everything.

Do an idle relearn.

Also, aren't those colder plugs supposed to be gapped at around .038"?

SOunds like a vacuum leak..

Did you remember to connect that little tiny vacuum line on the rear of the intake..If you did not the A/C controls wont work either..

 

Chuckster - Yes, I did (unless the stupid thing came loose). I'm doing the idle relearn and it seems to help.

Patches - "Also, aren't those colder plugs supposed to be gapped at around .038"? "

where did you see the info on the TR-6 and gapping? If that is the case I'll have to pop them out and regap them.

 

Why are you running the TR-6's. are you running the car N/A ?

 

By N/A I'm assuming you mean Naturaly Aspiriated? If that's what it means, then yes, no turbo, super or any other type of charger. See my sig for the mods.

 

If you're running N/A, you should be using the TR55's as the TR6's are better suited for FI and nitrous applications. :cheers:
