wacky idle/ poping/ jerking problem
Ok I have a rebuilt engine in my 88 n/a. I rebuilt the engine and it has just over 1000 miles on it. I oringinally had headers and a high flow cat on the car durring the break in, and the idle ideal but was fine. I had very slight jerking on decel and some normal poping. Well last week I got a new egr valve in and I replaced the egr valve, put the old exhaust manifold on and some "new" stock cats. This is all to pass the emission test. Now when I start the engine up, it idles really roughly between 700-1k and when I drive the car it starts jerking on decel and light throttle. I am looking for ideas on what to do next. I think grounding might be an issue but it is just odd how an grounding issue would have suddnely happened. I really just want to get this fixed so that I can either drive the car or sell it before I head back to school. Oh, and last night my oil pressure was climbing to 110, which was really odd. I am going to grab some cheap mechanical gauge and check that out. Awww this car is really getting under my nerves, thank god there is a river near by that I can drive this bucket of bolts into
