Re: '89 22re won't start

Well, I am happy to say that the wiring guru was able to help me out, and not only found the short (wiring within left fender leading to ground), but he has gotten my truck starting with no problem. However, once I start it, the truck sounds like I have exhaust trying to "backfire" into the intake manifold. The engine lopes and will not rev up when I hit the throttle. Would the valves need adjustment again being that it sat for over a year? I tried rotating the distributor to advance/retard the ignition timing, but it still sounds horrible in the area of the intake manifold. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance!!
