John,
Adjusting and compensating for wear is why they put screws one the area's
that need to be adjusted. If you want to pull the fuel system out and take
the intake off to get to the vacuum hoses while following someone's else
advice then please do so. But if you feel that is a little to much. Then
screws are made to be adjusted. You can also try it and if it doesn't work
then put it back with out having to a complete tune up. Trying to find
vacuum leaks is easy to say but not always easy to do. Even a tune up on our
cars is somewhat difficult. There is a screw for the 02 sensor adjustment
( fuel enrichment or lean ), idle speed, idle speed motor turn on. If you
have or even know someone that has an Ultrasonic cleaner that can clean and
test injectors then that is a good option. If you don't know someone then
you can pull them off and send them to me and I will clean them. 2 day's in
house and 2 day's ea coming and going, so you will be down for about 8 to 10
day's if that is an option.

You don't get the PRV running by "adjusting" things. If it is not
running right then it usually means you have to replace or clean
parts. "Ajusting" the O2 sensor (I assume you messed with the mixture
screw) only caused you to lose that adjustment. If it won't start than
you don't begin by messing with adjustments. Start with finding and
fixing vacuum leaks. Next have the fuel injectors cleaned and do a
tune-up replacing the spark plugs, ignition wires, cap, rotor, and air
filter. NOW you adjust the mixture screw on an engine analyzer. In
fact that is the only thing to adjust unless you also messed with the
3 brass screws and the tiny screws on the micro switchs by the
throttle spool. Timing generally is "right on" or close enough not to
need adjustment. You do have to make sure the mechanical advance and
the vacuum advance are working though. If it is smoking a lot pressure
test the cooling system to find any leaks and do a compression test on
the cylinders to see if it has been overheated.
