I just bought a '90 Convertable and I got it from my sister-in-law for almost nothing and I figured I could figure it out... Anyways, I just got I back together I can get it to fire up and run but it will not idle. Ihave tried everything I can thing of. So please somebody throw me a bone.

Thanks in Advance

Check the TPS and BAC. I'd say start there.

You said "everything I can think of" and I don't know what that is exactly so I'll start with those things above first.

I 've checked the timing, my placment on all the vacuum lines, all the coils, plugs, fuel pump and filter, fuel injectors, and several sensors and all seem to be working properly.

this sounds dumb, but make sure your intake is on ( i forgot to put it back on once and would start but not idle :-p) if that doesnt work, then make sure you dont have a vac leak.

Check tps, air flow meter, fast idle cam, idle screw, and vac leaks.
