did you set the idle correctly?

if you just started it up after some major modifications, you need to reset the computer, and it may take a wek or so for it to adapt to the changes

Follow these instructions:
Set the idle speed by using the following sequence:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Turn the throttle plate hard stop screw control 5 turns clockwise from the fully closed position.
3. Disconnect the idle speed control solenoid connector.
4. Run the engine until it is at operating temperature.
5. Turn the throttle plate hard stop screw counter clockwise until the factory idle speed setting is obtained.
Increased idle speed may be required if the engine has been modified.
6. Turn the engine off and reconnect the idle speed control connector.
7.Turn the ignition switch to the ON position but do not start the engine. Using a digital volt/ohmmeter, measure
the voltage between the DG/LG and BK/W wires. Be sure the voltage is between 0.8v and 1.0v. If
necessary, elongate the mounting holes on the throttle position sensor to obtain this specification.
