Won't Idle
 

Just had to put a new engine in my car, put my intake and throttle body on it, it's timed to 10 degrees, but it won't idle, as soon as i take my foot off the gas it stalls, WHAT ARE SOME THINGS TO LOOK FOR THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS SHYT !!!

new engine?

what do you have in your new engine?

86 was speed density efi and it doesn't like mods if you did any thing more than a very mild cam or mild heads it will cause the car to not run right.

give us an idea of what you have and maybe we can help ya a littel.

I Stupidly took a 5.0 out of a 1990 Lincoln only thing i did was put my the stock 86 intake and throttle body on it and stock 86 headers

ok isn't what i first suspected

i would start buy trying to adjust the idle ajustment screw see if that will do it if not then look for a vacume leak.
