For future reference, this was a problem with the MAF sensors ground (which goes to the ECM at Pin C9). Once this ground was re-established, all is well.

This job would have not been possible without my Bentley book and Durametric tool. This are a must for anyone who doesn't or can't take the car to the dealer for everything...

Thanks to everyone who replied,
Paul

I know, I was getting frustrated. I had it down for a bit doing the clutch, etc., then I was out in LA, then TX, and came home and wanted to drive my car!

I did quite a bit else while the car was down, so it runs wonderfully now. I put on Deluboz headers, fixed a strut tower top bolt, put on the rear STB, rebuilt both axles with new boots, new solid front motor mount, along with the clutch kit.

So the car finally drives the way that it should. Buying used, there are always some things that need fixed, but the car is now the way that it should be.

I LOVE the fact that I was able to figure it out. While I couldn't have done it without the book and Durametric; with them a person in their garage can save a lot of money and trips to the dealer. For me, the closest dealer is 40 miles away, so I don't plan on ever going there, except to turn on my OBC hack! hehe (already installed, just waiting to turn in on)
