I just finished redoing a 92 900. I can barly get it started. I have to mess with distrubutor position and give it full throttle then it basically chugs (firing on a couple cylindars, no tach reading) then if I rev it up and get it warm and then adjust the distrubtor again I can get it to idle decently. The check engine light is on. (Except only when I give it gas in gear, like trying to drive) that it will turn off, but come on again at idle. The APC soleniod was also clicking like crazy off and on. I know the first step is to get it going and set the timing. I cant mess with car till the weekend and I was wondering if anyone had a good idea what going on. It has new vacuum lines. Before I got the car, it had a bad transmission but it fired up good, so I would assume that all the parts like AMM, o2, are still good unless I messed them up in storage.
