It's finally ALIVE!!!! Just got it started for the first time. See the crappy video here http://www.rotarycarclub.com/showthread.php?t=48 More to follow.

Now, it is idling around 3000rpm's and I don't know why. The air bleed screw on the bottom of the throttle body is all the way in and then backed off half a turn as Chuck Westbrook reccommends. I have disconnected the throttle and cruise cable and it does not change anything. I have backed out both idle adjustment screws on the front of the throttle body and no change. Power FC idle setting are standard. The PFC is running the base map with no modifications(I will load another map before I drive it with boost) I'm sure I have some vaccuum leaks that I will be sorting shortly, but that should only take my idle to 1600-2000 at the most according to David Jerome... who has helped me greatly throughout this whole song and dance. I prob. call him more than I do my girlfriend... haha.

The turbo manifold is also glowing red/orange. I'm assuming it's because of an extremely rich condition. I originally had my fpr set to high and I think that had something to do with it, but after I adjusted it down, it was still red. Any ideals?
Just thought I'd see what you guys thinks. Thanks.
