Might have to reset the codes on the computer. Take the + battery cable off the battery and reconnect it afer 5 minutes. Next try to start the engine without holding the gas petal down, it should start and run rought till the computer resets itself. If engine stops, restart the engine and hold the gas petal down and give it enought gas so it will run smooth, it may take 5 minutes or so for it to smooth out and run at idle speed. If this did not fix the problem, check for a vaccum hose that may be off some where on the engine

check your throttle position sensor and idle air control solenoid.

Did the engine run before the cap,rotor?
The butterfly is operated bya cable from the gas pedal which controls the amount of air into the intake,the fuel is controled by the throttle position sensor,and map sensor and idle is controlled by a idle air control valve which regulated idle rpm by the amount of air allowed into the intake.
I would have to say that either the iac has gone out,or the hole where the iac pintle goes has carboned up blocking air flow,or the worst case the ecm is not the right one from a 1995 to a 1987 motor but if it ran ok before I would look into the probability that your problem is the iac.

Replace the throttle postioning sensor, and mass air flow sensor

Sounds like the idle air control valve...buy a repair manuel and it will walk you through the steps to change it...it's not hard.

Check your Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve; it may need to be cleaned.

replace stator pickup coil in the distributor
