Did you adjust the IAC? What motor do you have? Checking and adjusting the timing is a piece of cake.

pick up a 82-92 Haynes manual. I hear they tell you how to set the timing.

In general, yank the EST wire (if so equipped)
loosen the distributor hold down bolt
start the car
point timing gun at balancer ands pull the trigger, i think you have one line that is distinctly thicker than the rest....
rotate distributor until desired timing is reached.
