yours is an 88' so no mass air, unless its converted, so have you checked the IAC? or the timing. you could have a bad vacuum leak also.

If you want it to pass tech at a NHRA drag strip. The switch at the back of the car must kill the engine when thown to OFF.

This requires power wire to feed EVERYTHING but the starter to run to the back of the car. It'll be fused.

Now the starter wire should be dead at all times except during cranking. All you need to to there is place the solenoid at the back of the car.

Not required but the best and safest way for a rear mounted battery.
