Matt, Kenny, you guys get cars together for this week.....
I am 50-50 on being able to make it, but I am going to try. If I don't, I will be there the following Wednesday with a good possibility that I will be running.

Im still not going to make it this week , way to hot for me and I am playing soft ball in our tournament on Thursday .
I was able to get the engine and tranny in last night , and have finished tightniing everything up / installing the driveshaft and getting ready to hook up the harness today . I cant wait to fire this thing up . I'm thinking its going to need some tuning due to it being ported this time , we will have to see . but hopefully running in the next week or 2 depending on that tournament .

Well, that is good for me actually. If we plan a "club night" in say 2 weeks, will that work for everyone? That would be August 16th? How is that night for everyone? Rich, are you back in town?
Things have come up and I can't go tomorrow anyway now.

It is worth it to send off your injectors for cleaning and testing jsut to make sure, but I would bet that your problem is either wiring or a sensor causing it to go into "choke" mode.
BTW, this is a relatively new guy in the club (you might have met him at Awful's if you were there. He has a nice red FD). He has some Fd questions....

Dude, when are we going to fix your car? I have probably done eight or so from scratch.
I just order a couple of rebuild kits from Atkins so I will be doing a my first true rebuild soon. I am going to build the old cosmo engine and then put the mean streetport engine in one of my other cars, I just don't know which one? Maybe the wagon??????

Jerry, how ya been? I know, I've gotten slow and lazy when it comes to my car(read: have a fiance) and I have too many hobbies (Mountain bikes, street bikes {btw, anyone want to buy a Ninja 250?}, pocket bikes, quad runners, nephews dirt bikes etc........).

Mechanical engineer without a full degree. I picked up my job without finishing school, but i still do engineering amonst many other thengs. I machine (manual lathe, end mill etc), solder, wire, build and populate PC boards, did some aero space engineering and a bunch of other crap for my company. I mainly work with UAV's (unmanned Air Vehicles). On my free time I make **** faster
