Hi all. I just got a 1987 S-15 with a 2.5L TBI. At first when I started it up, idleing was rough and would sound like it would die but never did. I changed the EGR Valve and that fixed that problem, now it idles perfectly.
The big problem is when I drive it. When I am going through the gears, it'll sputter and backfire if I give it too much gas. When the RPMs seem to get high enough, it does alright and picks up speed but then I shift gears and it starts off doing it all over again. When I took it out today, it was stalling while in neutral. It started back up just fine but had it stall about 4 times within the last few miles to my house. I have changed the EGR (Which fixed the rough idle) Plugs and wires on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

check your timing?
Are you sure you put the wires back on in the proper order?
Did you change the cap and rotor as well?
