PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I debated whether or not to post this, but I was reminded of a valuable lesson that many of us could use now and again.

I had tested everything on the motor - TFI module, TPS, O2, ISC, swapped the MAF, etc... then I read the post by PKRWUD about engine vacuum. Hooked up my guage, and I only had 15" of vacuum at idle. I adjusted the idle to where it had 19", pulled out of the driveway, and left 10 miles of rubber in the distance of one block. The car runs perfect.

Often times with computer controlled cars it's easy to start testing sensors, blaming relays, swapping computers or MAFs..... but always chack the basics first.

Turned out the car was just retarded (or was I the one retarded...)
