Cars been running fine.I had the throttle body seals leaking so I replaced them and capped off my fiav as well.Put everything back together and now Im having some strange issues.First, I tried to start it and it wouldn't start.It turned over fine, but wouldnt catch. Getting fuel and spark, so I swapped out my ecu with my brothers.Stared right up.I drove it for about 15 miles and while idling, it just died.I pushed it off the road into a parking lot and left it for about 15 min.Came back and it started again but died.It finally started up and I drove it home.When I got back, I tested the cas, coil pack, plug wires, and checked the tps..all were fine.I have no emsissions so there are no lines I took off.Went out this morning and started it and went to work, its running crazy rich (burns my eyes..LOL) and the rpms dropped randomly, with no response when I pressed the gas.It would than come back on and be ok.Im stumped.
 
see if you have a vacuum leak somewhere the car could be starting fine because it is cold and has to idle high. and then when it warms up it might be idling to low to keep it running. not to sure about if it would make it run crazy rich tho unless your car was tuned and pulling or swaping the computers messed that up.
