Oh Geeze... Whoever is selling you poor bastards these mangled TII's needs to be strug up... thats like four guys in a week!!!!

First.... take the spark plugs out... see if they are shot.. or are wet with fuel..

HINT.. go to autozone and get one of those red handled stubby ratched they sell in the junk bins up front... these are the BEST for spark plugs on our cars, they are small, and have a real tight click rate.

well, if he is firing and running, I would lean towards a TPS/tuning issue. Sounds like initial idle settings are waaaaaay off.
