Well for one thing the IAC was completely bypassed, that would account for it stalling under AC and electrical load. Reconnected it and it does function but it’s very sticky and slow to respond. The seals are all shot it seems and it’s very gummy when I took it apart so I’ll acquire a replacement. I suspect the wax motor that adjusts idle for engine temperature isn’t working either. The coolant lines that run to it get nice and hot but the engine seems to have no startup enrichment at all. I’ll keep investigating and also probably ask on the metro forum.
