i did follow the torque specs but i dont know if i did the right tightening sequence. dont you start from the middle out?

I Just did the PI head swap and my car is running the exact same as his. Ive been trying to figure this out for about 3 weeks now and its about to drive me crazy. I hope you guys can figure it out.

YEAH!! i finaly got my car to run good!! what i did was refasten the bolts on the manifold and redid them exactly how the haynes repair manual said by starting from the middle and working my way out, then i replaced the o-rings on the injectors and replaced the spark plugs. and make sure all your vacuum lines are hooked up because i had one off and as soon as i started it it would die. but after 2 weeks of head scratchin and not knowing what the hell was goin on everything works great!
