I'm pretty comfortable doing just about anything to my car EXCEPT screwing with the CIS. It's been like a sleeping dog since I bought the car. It's worked great, until now.

Before the SSIs: The car always started right up immediately. It would bog down if I gave it a lot of gas right when I started it stone cold, but after about 30 seconds of idling, it ran great. Warm starts were always perfect.

After SSIs: It now always starts, then dies right away. On the second try, it starts but runs really rough for a few minutes. If I try to give it gas, it will die. If I let it idle, I can feather the throttle to get the revs up after about a minute. After a few more minutes, I can rev it up, and it runs fine. When warm, it starts right up and runs fine.

Also, after installing the SSIs, I don't really notice much more power out of the car. It seems to have less low end torque, although it really screams above 4,000 rpm. From everything I've been reading about the SSIs, I would think that I should notice a significant kick in the pants. Then again, it's been sitting for about 3 months since I last drove it, and my daily driver is considerably more powerful, so maybe it's just been a while and my P-car butt dyno is out of calibration.

Do I need to readjust the mixture after installing the SSIs? Is this something I can do at home, or am I going to have to take it to the local mechanic to have them do it? After dropping over $3,000 in the last month on this thing, I'm not really interested in spending much more money on it.

Thanks for any advice from the CIS experts.
