I have a 1990 RamCharger with a lot of miles. It sat (undriveable) for 2 years. It was given to me and I replaced some items (tranny filter/gasket; fuel filter; fuel pump; rebuilt throttle body; fuel injectors; plug; wires; air filter; oil change; fuel injector pressure regulator)...the vehicle now tries to run but is extremely rich and won't even idle on it's own.

I took it to my mechanic and he's lost.

What am I missing?

Hi:

By any chance have you had the computer scanned for codes? If it sat for that long, are the grounds good not corroded? Compression check? How many miles are on it? Did you check for vacuum leaks?
