Welcome to ZDriver!

Have you checked the basics???
Timing?
Fuel pressure?
Spark?
Read the plugs?

Also, if you haven't bought a Haynes manual yet, I suggest doing so, or download the FSM here: www.xenons30.com/reference

^^^ Click on that link I posted above.

Also check the sensors & connections. Mainly the AFM & coolant temp sensor (square 2prong on the thermostat housing).

 

how do you adjust the amf
