just new news, i got it to by taking the vacume line off the choak. runs horribly but it runs. also, its throwing a code 7. TPS sensor if im not mistaken. well i was kinda expecting that because when the motor was shipped the sensor was off and the gasket was fubar. so i figured id go without a gasket. now that its throwing the code im getting a gasket and seeing what it does now. all help is greatly appreciated.
