Well, I changed sparkplugs, removed corrosion along parts of the wiring harness, and it will run sort of..

It will not idle, and I can rev it up to 2500 RPM, afterwards it loses power or sounds sort of like the rev limiter...

Takes a while to start it like that..

When I had it running, I put a cane on the accelerator to keep it revved around 1.5k rpm so it wouldnt stall, and I removed a plug to each injector, one at a time..

Doing that to each one you noticed it really started getting choppy, I put the plug back on and it was fine, did that to each one with same results..

I am really stuck on this one :-(

Does anyone know what it could be, tomorrows plan, if I have time is to take out the fuel injectors and see how clean they are...

Thanks,Josh

SOLVED..

I played with the MAF I think it is (Mass AirFlow sensor plug ontop of the stock air filter unit) and it fired RIGHT UP.

Have a rough idle that goes to 500 / 600, but it clears up after a few seconds...

I still need to reattach the "staples" for each of the injector clips and 2 others which I cleaned out.

I am posting this as a resolution for those of you that encounter the same problem..

ALSO... I had it running where it would stall if I went under 1k rpm, and it would rev limit and bounce off of 2500 rpm...

Thank you to everyone for allyour help, I am sure I will stay a member and communicate with everyone about other random stuff :-)
