check your choke. pull off the air cleaner and make sure it's closed when it's cold.  also check the accelerator pump, it should be squirting fuel in when you pump the gas petal.

alright
wat about all the lines and stuff how do i get rid of some of it

[RN37DD]

first I'd get it running right the way it is, then if you still want to, you can remove a few vacuum line. but if you have a stock motor, it well probably run better and get better mpg if you run the stock vacuum line set up.  87 was a pretty good year if everythings working.

alright if its not closed wat do i adjust

[RN37DD]

check the linkage make sure it's not stuck and that it can close. it shouldn't need adjustment unless someone has been playing with it. adjust the choke plates so the just close when it's cold, then check it again warm and make sure they're fully open.
