It is Home

All right with the help of a friend with a trailer the 88 is home.

Started looking at it right away with in 1 hr I had it started but can't get
it to idle. and after you let the revs down it won't start again. Now to
over come this and it works every time and the idle is smooth, if I remove
the intake boot and raise the air flow flap with the key on and hold it for
a second and give it a shot of fuel it fires. Then by manipulating the
throttle and the flap at the same time the car idles perfectly, I have
noticed also as the ignition is keyed the flow plate is pushed down hard, so
the air is not over coming the the pressure which is not allowing the fuel
to be metered (thats why when I do it manually it runs). All right
collective what is the cause of this problem I am thinking fuel pressure
regulator is not reducing the fuel pressure to the metering valve, causing
the high pressure at the metering valve (I took the vacuum line at the FPR
and it smells of gas). Let me know what your thoughts are on this and it is
an 88 16v.
