Add to the collection need help to get it runung

HEY GUYS,

i purchesed the 88 se from NGKTECH got it home wednesday, started working on it late thursday. i got the car to run (actually i drove it last night) the problem i am having now with the car is that you have to keep it reved aboue 3000 rpm or it stalls out right away. i also own an 86 so i was comparing a few things on it and i noticed on the 88 right in front of the throttle the vavle that is their is very loose unlike the one on my 86 that runs great. i am assuming this controls air through the engine and am wondering would this be the reason the car has t be reved above 3grand it is getting too much air? any ideas would be great

I would start looking for a vacuum or intake leak.

I have found a few vacuum problems and fixed them! thank you! the bigger issue now is that the other day i went to pull it onto my trailer to take it to my buddys place. car started right up ran perfect all seamed well suddenly. shut it off came back in a few hours and nothing would not start at all! cranks great but will not even try and start

Flooded engine, search for deflooding procedures and you should get quite a few hits.
