Great news Jack! Now start boning up on the fuel injection control system. When they've sat for an extended period they have a tendency to run OK at first and then need a thing or two fixed shortly. Make sure the plenum the air flow meter is in is clean, and that you have a good solid connection at the inline fuse on the brown wire with white stripe, found behind the main fuse panel. It supplies constant power to the dual relay. Well, it's supposed to, mine supplied intermittent power.

Way to go,Jack!! It is hard to keep a good 82 down.I would suggest making a 'to do' list of issues(if any) as you drive her. Ther is a lot of very qualified help available on this forum.I wish I had discovered it when I first got my car.I struggled with some small issues that could have easily been resolved with a little input from people in the know!Good luck :D
