Did tune-up, car still runs like crap



Yesterday I did a full tune-up, I used stock delorean components 
except for the plugs which are platinum +4. I cleaned many parts with 
carb cleaner, replaced some old vacuum hoses, replaced ALL gaskets 
and O-rings that have to do with the intake manifold, did valve 
adjustments for all valves and cleaned the fuel injectors.

Car fired right up, but still idled poorly, it smoothed out some as 
it warmed up. I took it for a quick 12 mile spin on the highway. The 
car seemed to have a little trouble going up hill, I had to give it 
more gas than usual to keep the speed up.

One thing to mention though is that the wires definatley needed 
replacement. they were so old and rusty that the leads broke of from 
the wires when I tried to remove them. Some of the leads were rusted 
to the tops of the spark plugs!
