2nd Gen Engine Swap Question

I did not alter the car or wiring in any way.

Voltage was checked everywhere.

Which plug wires do I pull? All 4?

That's what I would do. If there is no spark to the plugs it can't be fighting itself trying to start. At least you will know whether spark has anything to do with turning over or not.

I pulled all 4 and it still does the same thing.

That means new starter?

Also, just to reiterate, the TPS screw was turned.

I looked at how many threads were visible on my cars' screw and adjusted this one the same.

In the automatics, I presume this also tells the car when to shift, and my test drive showed close to the same shift points. I could be wrong.

I did notice that this car almost dies when coming to a stop. With foot on the brake at a light, the RPMs are under 400.
Mine seems to have more, like around 600 and doesn't sputter when going in to gear from park to drive.

Just throwin that out there...
