Thanks for the help guys.

I just had the cars out for 30 mins or so. I got the car running pretty good, the temp was around 208F, I was in my yard and on the sidewalk so I never really had any where to open it up.

I had the truck running awesome the last time I drove it, but for some reason when I took it out today it was running extremely shitty. Soon as I started it, the motor revved as high as it possibly could. The settings were really rich, bog soon as I touch the throttle. The fumes were so bad they burned my throat and sinuses.

First thing i did was closed the idle gap. I leaned the HSN, And the idle was very high, so I lowered it, and leaned some more. I would have to close the idle gap every time I leaned HSN. the acceleration was getting better, but know where near where it should be. it was running around 210F

this is where i kind of get lost. and im thinking should i lean the HSN more, should i touch the LSN, Rich or lean, should i turn the idle down? but really im clueless. and have no idea what to do

anyway, i think i tried to richen the lsn to get the idle down, and took it for a drive. pinch test was good. but I still could not get the same snap off the line it had the last time I drove it. and now soon as i touch the throttle, it would stick wide open, i would have to slam to brakes to stop it. my neighbors started coming outside, and i am beyond frustrated so i shut it down.

when i read up on how to tune, it makes perfect sense, but when im actually doing it, my brain goes into retard mode. i need one of those books for dummies wit pop up pics and shit haha
