i know my car is hard to start because the start map doesn't work. You could check for voltage at the pin on the ecu if it is an s4 it should be around 10 volts when cranking.

Yeah mine runs pretty rich and once it warms up it idles fine and runs good, but if it is cold it doesn't idle right. I have to kind of pump the gas while cranking to get it started.

Your TII is an 88? Im pretty sure the plugs on the s5 and s4 ecus are different.

With your swap its kinda hard tellin not knowing if the ecu would work since you don't know what harness you have im assuming you dont know what the ecu is. Either way i don't think you can swap ecus from different series or from na to turbo

any way
find out which ecu you have and start backprobing the ecu with a volt meter to make sure anything that sounds like it could cause a problem is within spec


also you might do a compression test if you haven't already. that could explain idling better after warming up

Also download both of these
