Idling problem

a lil background n the car, it s a 89 Bandit car with less than 86,XXX miles. it is a 305 TBI w/ 700r4. I gave it a tune up (plugs, wires, cap, button, fuel filter) and now it wont idle. itll catch at startup up, rev like normal then just die. if it catches its self from dying, its rev and attempt to die over and over. if i give it some gas itll either stutter or die. any attempt to drive it fails miserably. i installed everything, went to start it and now it runs as previously stated. it ran fine before the tune up. any ideas?????

Re: Idling problem

Maybe you tweaked your timing or didn't put your Cap, Rotor on Properly?I would double check everything.
