Success!!!

Who knew that an engine could be so sensitive.  I left the snorkel off the air filter case while working on the engine.  It's in the way, and when making adjustments, I am constantly taking the air filter case in and out of the car anyway.  With the snorkel off, too much air was getting into the engine at idle, snuffing out the combustion.  The snorkel is part 4 in the diagram below.  

I know, that's a lot of parts to hold an air filter.  Until I had made these adjustments, the snorkel didn't really make a difference whether the car ran or not.  It was actually harder to start with the snorkel on before I cleaned and tuned up the engine.  Now it fires right up.  The throttle was unresponsive too before I made all the adjsutments and cleaned/checked/replaced various fuel injection components.  Now it runs as much like a scaleded dog as a car with only a little over 100hp can.  Now I just need to start my search for a passenger seat and center console. 

I have a suspicion that my heater vents are all blocked.  Possibly with dirt dobber nests. Thankfully I have a warm coat and a short drive to work.
