Anyone in Michigan with OB CIS knowledge?

The air metering plate has some pressure on it after the car is shut down so it appears that it is holding pressure in the FD as it should, I have been doing all of the testing on my own so it has been a little hard to get to some of the components. The car would not stay running without the air filter on, but as soon as I put it on it will sit and idle until I shut the car off or attempt to give it some throttle. It's outside and we have 30 deg temps so as soon as I get a hankering to get cold I'll go out and pull all of the injector lines and injectors and clean them out...so in reference to the throttle question I guess yes, I am only relying on the cable to the throttle body. Again, the relay is working as it should, before I found the mesh screen in the FD plugged I had to hold it to "over pressure" the FD intake port to allow fuel through. When the car is Idling it stays engaged and when the car is off it resets as it should.

Hey Josh;
It looks like you are on the right track.
If the screen was pluged then it may be that some got through and contaminated the rest of the system.
keep cleaning and checking

Parts are on the way... should be in by wednsday... maybe I'll have a little Christmas present to myself... if it gets running.

Ok guys, got back at it today...got the oil changed...good thing that the Dodge Ram oil plug is the same as my 79 euro. I got my gauge set from Roger...need to hook it up and see what I have as far as pressure. The car is running a bit different than when I was last at it. It will fire, but not stay running...I think I'll take the FD apart tomorrow and clean it out again...could be more junk in it still.

AHHHHH!!!!If it would only run, I would drive it every day...does anyone have a spare ignition switch...I can get it to crank, but I have to wiggle the key

Thanks,
Josh

So I got back at it yesterday and 5 lines from the fuel distributor to the injectors are completely clogged...any idea on the best way to get these cleaned out? or just replace with new?

TIA,
Josh

You would have to give me more detail.
What kind of lines? rubber?
how about a picture.
If you have no way of cleaning them, you could take them in and ask at a local ford dealer if they could blow them out for you.

They're the hard metal lines from the FD to the injectors, the CIS has individual lines running to each injector...trying to consider a practical replacement as well. BigAl has some that he's been holding for me, but I don't know if that's really the way I want to go with it.
