Delaying the lift....
 

Well I have everything for my lift except the tires.

I was about to get the tires and then.... engine started running VERY rough at start, and it's just been going down hill. So I've decided not to wait, put my tire money into the engine and give it another go later.

Gotta figure out what's wrong with it though, I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Did you CEL come on at all?

Nope, It's an 84 with the 2.5L I recently purchased it and have been meaning to do a tuneup, but haven't yet. I think it's just time. I'll go from there. And hope the check engine light didn't burn out.

The only problems I have is it missing when it's cold, but after a few min of running it smooths out, except for occasionally it will sputter and almost die like it's about to run out of gas, but then after about a minute it smooths back out.

So tuneup (that's needed anyway), and checking fuel pressure is where I'll start.
