all vacuum is connected? its only like 3 hoses.

who rebuilt it?
gapped plugs?
compression?
fuel pump working?
timing set proper?
good ecu?

pretty simple motor, only 1 fuel line and 4 plugs and 1 primary o2 sensor.

that kinda sounds like the symptoms of a vacuum leak.

but i would still look into everything on akep's list.

it's really just a process of elimination.
