87 305 tpi barely starts???
so ive read a lot about the 9th injector being the cause of a lot of these cars barely starting and I unplugged it, but it didn't get better, car struggles really hard to start, once its running it runs fine, if I shut it off and start it like 5 minutes later, it starts fine, but if it sits for a little bit and I try to restart it, it barely starts again... supposed to run at 195, but is running at 220, just replaced thermostat and coolant, still runs hot, replace distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs, kinda helped, but not much.... someone HELP??

Still having issues? 220 isn't TOO hot, but it's a little warm. 200-210 is normal for these cars. Here's a few things you can test.
check your Coil, it might be on it's last leg.
Get an Ohm tester and check your injectors, depending on your injectors they should ohm around 15-16, anything under 12 is junk.
you could also get your ignition module tested too.
if none of that helps, try pulling the codes from the computer with a paper clip. Here's a link with a nice description and listing of all possible codes.
