my car won't idle,please help
I just recently replaced my motor in my 87 m/t non-turbo
and all went well, but when I start my car it will idle up to 3000 then come down to 2000 to begin to idle for 1 second, then shuts off.this really sucks because I really want to drive my car and havent got to drive it yet. PLEASE PLEASE IS THERE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME?!
I have a shop manual.

If you have the shop manual look in the 4A section and just go down the troubleshooting guide. Check your water thermo sensor too because the same thing happened to me. If that is it, you can unplug it and it should run, but that's only if it's the water thermo sensor.

bad idle
check the thing under the hood that makes the car rev when you push it...if that is stuck..or something behind it is..that is your problem...you may just need some grease and some movement of it...thats what happened to me...or fiddle around with the idle adjustment screw which is under the black rubber cap ontop of the engine
