Quick run down of the problems I ran i to....

Got the car off the truck, wouldn't start.

Took 2 days to realize the fuel pump was unplugged when securing it for transit

Got her driving, would stall constantly. Found a loose bolt holding the fast idle arm in. Fixed it ran great

When figuring out the fuel pump problem someone pushed my overdrive knob. It slipped into overdrive while checking the gears and locked in overdrive with it my knowledge.

Go to back out of the driveway and it won't go into reverse. It's locked out while in over drive. Took a couple days of research and I used a battery to essentially jump the overdrive solenoid.

Worked.

I'm cruising now boys!
