Glad to see you got it fixed. I'd like to think that I helped but you actually located the problem.

yeah, probably the number one question i get asked about my car is something like, "are you gonna get some cool spoilers and mods and such?" noooo, i'm pretty purist.

Good for you.

People that expect you to add stuff onto the car right away probably don't really know much about classic cars or real sportscars. They probably think that watching The fast & Furious :sick: is an education in sportscars. IMO, only race cars need spoilers I such- they do nothing for street cars.

Don't forget to set the idle speed properly when you get things sorted out. I forgot to do that once and the engine stalled 100 feet before the gas station. I thought it was out of gas, until I gassed up & left. Had to keep my foot on the gas the whole way home.

Good luck. :classic:
