Starting problems

[NeptuneZeek]

Ok i still am having starting problems with my bp it will start then try to idle abnormally then stop and yes i have the VAF plugged in and on its still not idling. any ideas anyone?

Are you starting it with starting fluid, then it dies, maybe the fuel lines aren't hooked up right?

[NeptuneZeek]

no im starting it with the fuel lines and it will idle every once in a while then when i give it gas it dies

clogged injectors possibly???

idk they were the ones from my festiva because the bp's were bad. Do you think it has to do with the throttle body and how should i adjust it?

Could that be the problem, maybe the B3 injectors aren't providing enough fuel for the BP?

well my friends father was there when i put them in and he has been turning wrenches on cars since 82' and he said it should be fine so i went with him. if you or any one else knows otherwise that would be the problem but i think it might have to do with the tps. what should it be set at and how do i set it properly?

Get a Protege/Escort GT shop manual. Someone posted a link to a site that has it on pdf (and free).
