AMM questions 200 1984

The service record of the car is largely unknown. I bought it last summer for ninety dollars ($90). I only started driving it about a week ago. Its not even registered. The paint is great. The body is too with the exception of a small dent on one back door. It had brand new tires, radiator, brake discs and pads and a few other things. Its got all the GL stuff. The power windows work, the CC works, the sunroof works, etc. The AC does not work but I don't really care. The rear defrost does not work but I think its either the switch or relay. It even had brand new tiger print seat covers still in the box! Anyway, the car ran but had a shot transmission. AAA got it home for me. I put an AW70 in it from a turbo with only 130k on it. I did the rear main seals at the same time. I grabbed the sway bars too. Other than that I changed the oil. That's it. As far as how well it runs, it purrs once its been running for about a minute from a totally cold start. When its cold, it cranks over, fires right up, then rpms drop immediately and usually stalls out unless I give it a bit of gas. If it doesn't stall and I don't give it gas, it revs and drops between about 400 and 1500 rpms for about a minute. Any idea what that might be? I suppose I should do the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, and fuel filter before I get much farther. I'll probably wait on the fuel filter because its such a pain. I had an 82 which has the filter in the engine compartment. I wish they kept it there.

Anyway, thanks for the response.
Ben
