Air Metering Unit

["J Rowe" <rowejj@xxxx>]

 I've got a question about the air metering unit. I haven't been able to get my car started
at all this week so I went out fooling around with it this morning. Heres what I found. It 
wouldn't start again so I took off the air filter cover and pushed down on the air metering 
unit and then tried to start it. It started right up but wouldn't keep itself running unless I 
gave it gas. As long as I gave it gas it would run but as soon as I took my foot off the gas
it would die about 2 seconds later. I'm guessing that the air metering unit controls the fuel/
air mixture. Anyone know what's going on and what I might take a look at to fix it's problem? 
On a side note, there is also what looks to be a hollow plug between the air metering unit 
and fuel distributor. Is it supposed to be like that or is there supposed to be a screw or some-
thing that goes in there? One last thing. I was thinking of checking all my vacuumm lines while
I'm at it. Is there anyone that has a list or diagram of all the lines on a website or something 
so I don't miss any? All that I've checked so far seem to be in good shape. 

Thanks all.........................Jason # 5903
