Ok so I have a 89 GXL auto, When I got it the owner said it had trouble with hot starts. The car is in really good shape and only 109k on it. So I pulled the injectors out and had them cleaned. When I put them back in I replaced all intake manifold gaskets and put in PR 5th and 6th port inserts. After dealing with vacuum leaks and removing the intakes twice I have the car running again. But I still has trouble with hot starts. Some people have told me low compression will cause this but if that is the case why when I "clear" the flood it will start again.. Also it has a jumpy idle in park from 1000 to 1500. Any ideas?

Yea I have a T2 trans, drive shaft, and rear I plan on swapping in. I have been buying the parts for the job. New master cylinder and such. As for the TPS adjustment I am either stupid or miss guided I have read three different write-ups and they all mention a adjustment screw, Im not seeing one! My TPS is out of range so im kinda stuck. thanks again for all your help!

ehh... i dunno about that.. do a search on hotstarts, might yield you some other results.. how does the car drive otherwise? i cant really see how "low compression" can do this. I cant recall at this moment, but i know there is a problem with the hotstart crap... ill check around.
yeah do the 5 spd swap... before you hate your car. lol i basically finished mine, putting some final touches on it and revising my adaptors...

Compression test so you know for sure.. If I'm having a problem, I always compression test to make sure.... its like pulling off a band-aid or waiting for AIDS test results.

Actually, its the other way around... If you have low compression, you are doomed with flooding/hot start issues.
