Did you check the card behind the right-right lights? It's a small black box that pops into the Idle Stabilizer wires.

Unpliug the box and pop it open with a screw driver. It may have some burnt components.

Best regards, Shawn.

I have transplanted a 90 2.1 WBX with very low miles into my 91 Syncro. It runs strong, but will not idle. It seems to surge a bit at the startup and then completely stop after approx. 5-10 seconds if you do not hold the throttle open. I have checked all that I can think of. I would appreciate any advice as to where to begin again.......

TIA, dylan
