Well, I had a feeling that this would happen.
After replacing the fuel lines which was not an easy task of me, I can get the bus to turn over and start, but will not run unless I have my foot heavy on the gas. As soon as I let up, it dies instantly.
Where should I start looking to see what I missed, bumped, disconnected? I had a heck of a time getting the number 1 & 2 injectors back in. I may have switched the 1 & 2 injectors as I was so exhausted I forgot to pay attention to which one was which. That shouldn't make a difference, should it?

I finally got it running roughly enough to get around to the back. RPMs were on the verge of stalling. Timing looks advanced. I turned the air mixture screw in an attempt to just keep it going enough to work on it. About 1/2 turn clockwise smoothed it out a little and brought the RPMs up to 700. is this compensating for an unseen intake leak somewhere?
I don't want to introduce any more variables until I know how to proceed from here logically.
Did you put this back where it was?
