Did you remove the BAC, thermowax, or both? What speed does the engine idle at when cold? It should be about 1.5k RPM with the thermowax in place.

sounds just like my car, the BAC plug was busted when I got it, and the BAC tested bad on top of that.

BAC is located on the pass side of the UIM. Its a cylinder w/ a colored plastic circle on one end w/ a plug/connector.

Thermowax is in the throttle body...run a search for it, you'll need pictures.
