Today was new intake manifold day. I put a Edelbrock Preformer Manifold (for a carb car) on my 92 RS automatic, with the original TBI. It seemed like everything was going to be fine until I started it back up. With everything hooked back up the car now idles at 2000 RPMS, and when I put a load on it (Drive or Reverse) the engine takes a huge dive down to 500RPMS and struggles very hard to stay alive making it virtually impossible to drive. After about 5 seconds of being in gear, the car sputers and dies. Also, when shifting in to drive, it SLAMS into gear, feels really bad......

I have never done any work with the distributor and rotor before. I marked the distributor when I took it off but I think something went wrong when we put it back in. I think that I have a timing problem here......way too advanced?

What do you guys think?

Thanks
Jason
