Ok, so now my car is finally all back together and running except for one last new problem. If I turn on the heater or A/C, the engine will die at idle or run really rough at speed. If I let it set and idle with no heat and no A/C, it will eventually turn on the radiator fan when it hits 240. It is a very smooth idle right up to the instant it turns the fan on. Then, when it applies power to the fan, it dies instantly just like you turned off the key.............. Battery and alternator are new... It is very repeatable, as soon as the fan kicks on, it dies.... Any ideas??? I really got to get this puppy on the road...

 

Possably a short? My car was doing something like that and it turned out I never tightened the battery cable (was only finger tight), if the lights were on and I called for anything electric, it would stall at idle.

 

have you driven the car on the road yet? it has to relearn the idle since it was apart.

 

Thanks but got it figured out... When I put it back together I had a feeling I missed a ground wire.. Sure enough, there are three not two sets of ground wires on the back side of the passenger side head... The other was caught back underneath and I missed it during reassembly... Bolted it back on and it runs fine....
