Ok i have an 88 gt that had a blown motor. So i swapped with another 89 i had laying around. The computer is from the 89 too and i was converted to mass air. I removed the a/c and smog pump from the motor before i put it in. When i started it, it was idiling kind of rough, but then when i drove it, it was like sputtering and running extremely rough when i tried to accelerate. My guess is it has to be a vacuum leak or something somewhere. But does anyone have an idea of what lines i need to plug when i removed the smog pump, or if they think i might have forgot something somewhere? Any input helps. Thanks
im pretty sure it isnt the timing cuz i didnt touch that. but i will check it anyway. and should i just block off every house that was involved with the smog?
