rpms jump up and down

I changed the manifold on my motor. When i put everything back together i started the car set the timing and the rpms will go up and down i get no throttle responce at all. Ive changed the fuel filter, cap and rotor, the iac in the tb and nothing has worked

Make sure all your vacuum lines are connected and make sure the timing is correct. DISCONNECT THE ESC PLUG TO SET TIMING TO ZERO! Then turn off and reconnect ESC and see if it helps.

Re: rpms jump up and down

What manifold did you put on? If its not a stock one, or close to it, you may need to do some prom tuning.
