Today I removed the idle control valve and cleaned it with brake fluid, replaced it and the car did the same, all the related hoses were in good condition. It was very hard to start, 4-7 tries, but after you get it running it runs smooth above 1500 rpm. I took "dpetryk's" advice and removed the distributor cap and it's in really bad shape, after seeing the cap and rotor I am amazed it started at all. I'm ordering a new rotor, cap and some other parts tomorrow. I am going to try the cap and rotor before I tackle the CPS. I will let you know later this week what improvement the cap and rotor make, but after reading a bunch of post I think I have two problems. I feel the cap and rotor will fix the starting but I may need a crank position sensor also. Thank's again to everyone for your help. This is a great site, I'm buying my parts here!!
