I'll give it a whirl this weekend. I attempted to drive it to work this morning and got a CEL 2 miles down the road so I turned around, and swapped vehicles. I didn't have time to check the code. I am work again until Saturday at 8AM protecting freedom and democracy, so Ill have to check out tomorrow. I am hoping this CEL will point me in the right direction.Did you try adjusting the idle speed using the method in the service manual?

The CEL is gone. I checked it yesterday and it was a code 45 which is running too lean or too rich. I figured this was because the idle speed and timing was all dicked up. I have fixed the idle speed and the timing. The car runs fine but still feels a bit sluggish to me. I am not sure how the cold idle is yet. I will find out tomorrow.

Change number 15: It still nearly dies at idle but is less noticeable. I got the CEL again on the way home. I pulled into AutoZone had the nice lady run the OBDII scanner and got P0171. Too lean on bank 1. I have a feeling this is the same issue that is causing the car to feel sluggish. I am going to do some troubleshooting over the next few days.

I have adjust timing to where it runs best. Then, I retarded it a little. I've been driving it for a few days now and it runs wonderfully. It still hasn't had a CEL.
Bad: It still idles rough when cold for the first 30 secs of running. Other than that it runs great.

This is the last thing I can think of. I checked fuel pressure and it was perfect. The only thing left is the MAP sensor and the injectors. That's it. There is no way it's the MAP sensor.You need Y8 injectors I had the same thing happen while waitng for my Y8s.
I have Y8 injectors lying around but I don't have the harness for them. I do some research and see what I can find.
if they are y8 ones, they should be plug n playThis is the last thing I can think of. I checked fuel pressure and it was perfect. The only thing left is the MAP sensor and the injectors. That's it. There is no way it's the MAP sensor.
