Now I did it...

1979 242 DL, automatic, K-jet. I carefully degreased and washed the engine with a garden hose focusing on the lower portion of the block (not the intake side), and now the car will start and sort-of run with starting fluid and pumping the gas pedal, but will not idle and runs erratically with my foot on the pedal.

I checked the obvious stuff like cap/rotor, and coil which seem ok.

New plugs, cap/rotor, wires have not fixed the problem. I dont see any disconnected hoses/plugs. I presume these cars dont have a CPS, which seems to be the faulty part on later models.

Not sure where to look next? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
-Mike
