OK, what did I do wrong? After playing around with the idle adjustment screw to get the rpm down to 800 when warm, it starts at 50 rpm and very slowly increases to 800. So I gave up and unscrewed it so it will now start, but idle at 1500rpm.
Yesterday I took out the instrument cluster, placed the bulb for the EGR into the empty bulb out indicator (there is no EGR system on this car any more), and found a 3 prong turn signal relay which needs to be 4 prong so that my dash turn indicators will work.
Problem:
This morning I warmed up the car to go to the parts store. Put the car in Reverse and it immediately died. Drive was OK, but the idle dropped to about 100. I found out that I can hit the starter while in reverse and the car will back up, not a good thing. The tranny fluid was about 1 quart low, added that much and it still dies. Is there an electrical compensator/relay that I messed up? Car ran good until I messed with the dash. I feel like a total dummy, which I probqbly am.
Thanks,
Klaus
