Clean the IAC valve and the IAC port. These get very dirty. Also clean the fuel injectors and check the pressure regulator. Good Luck.

where is the IAC valve?

[richtazz]

it's on the throttle body, and is held on by 2 screws. Also, like public said, check fuel pressure.

Just take your time. Once you get it right these genines are bulletproof. My 89 2.0 just turned over 297,900. It is ugly but it don't stop. My 94 2.2 is like new at 178,000.

Yes this engine should get good mileage-around 30mpg or so.
