Ok so i just replaced my thermostat, radiator hoses, and radiator (had a radiator explode on me and just did some insurance replacements) in my 97 HB truck. KA24E engine. While replacing the thermostat i had to take all the belts off so i replaced them as well. When I got it all back together i started her up and she runs and idles perfect in Park and Neutral, but when I throw it into R or D the idle starts JUMPING around from about 500RPM - 1100RPM and then it motor just dies on me. Any ideas on what could cause this? If i keep the engine reved at high rpm and warm it up for a few minutes it's fine and runs great! Could it be air still left in the coolant system? timing? idle speed?
I also replaced distrib rotor, cap and plugs.
Thanks!
