I've got a 1987 Mazda B2600 2.6 L 100,000+ miles. I just got the starter replaced and now I found out that I have a new problem. The engine already idles high but when I go to drive it I cant go faster than 15 mph. It also sputters when I hit the gas as if its being bogged down. Can anyone help?

Your choke is probably closing-adjust the opening and fast idle cam.

Check your fuel pressure by connecting a fuel pressure guage between the filter and the distribution pipe, you might have to change your fuel filter. Carefully check over your vacuum hoses to make sure that there are no crackes.
