Need some help with a cis 8v

[calimus at techography.net (Calimus)]

Hrm, I realized that I left something out.  The engine I'm refering to 
is/was a cis engine as well.  Basicly I transplanted the 8v from the 
wifes old 89' cabby to the new 89' cabby. 

The fpr pretty much is my next stop.  If it still acts up then, only 
things left I can think of are ecu, icm and the fuel pump.
