Got the 2.3 running this morning for the first time in 14 years!! Can't tell you how good it felt to hear it catch and stay running!

Next issue(s) will be that it's not running very smooth; at this point I'm thinking of cleaning the MAF sensor and throttle body.

I posted the link to the video above.

Any other thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

I did see something coming up, looked like dust/smoke/something towards the back but I'm thinking it's just dust etc. from it sitting out?
