it sarted with the car not wanting to run and smelling like it was running really rich. changed out the spark plugs and it wasnt running rich anymore but car still wouldnt stay running. so after a few more guess and check fixes we found out it was bad wiring going to my idle air control solenoid. now its running great, just still in pieces cuz im working on putting the new clutch in.
