[s-cars] Starting/Running issues

[Bill Mahoney]

Mark

Sorry I could be late to pick up on this thread but will throw in my .02.

This stumbling and running rich sounds a lot like a boost leak to me.

Check once again all the intake hoses.  Pay particular attention to the
bends and seams where leaks can be very stealth...

Particularly in the Michelin man hose off the cross over pipe.

Search the archives as there are relatively easy ways to pressure test the
system.

Boost leaks (i.e. less air) will cause a rich mixture and poor mileage. 

They can also cause a condition where the car will “sort of run” if you
feather the accelerator but die if you give it too much too quickly.
