    What plug type did you install? Is the CEL on? Double check your firing order as you may have 2 (or more) wires crossed. Fuel shouldn't be that bad. Was it sitting outside the whole year it was down? If so pull the airbox open and check to be sure that no critters built a nest in there, thus restricting the air flow.

    No it's not good to go your probably getting tons of KR and will likely blow this motor if you don't get a tune or headers or some flow mods.

    take sc belt off drive to be tuned, no worry's.

    you really want headers before you tune it. it needs to breathe more, well exhale.
