Default if you know about carbs, help please!

Sorry in advance if i'm not suppose to be doing this, but i had a bad carb ( variable venturi ) in my 89 toyota tercel, so i bought a new one and slapped it on. The car will start now, but won't stay running acts like it's not getting gas or something. I'm at a loss, could my vacuum lines be messed up. 90% sure they are correct, but i'm now doubting myself!...HELP PLEASE What else could be wrong?

Does this 89 Toyota Turdcell have an LS engine in it?

What else could be wrong???? It's a Toyota Turdcell that's what's wrong with it.

Don't mean to bust your *****....just being funny....but did you notice that the name of this site is "LS1 Tech" and that you are in the "LS2-LS7-L92 engine" section? Not the Toyota Rice Carbed Tech section.

You won't get any kind of reasonable answer here.

Default carb problem

some of these motors had an electrical idle control valve that may either be unplugged or simply plugged up. It is not uncommon for them to fail. The car will start and rev up OK but will not idle smoothly and die. Not sure if this fits your symptoms or not.

To verify vacuum leaks, start pinching vacuum hoses off one at a time. Look for changes in running conditions. You could also remove all hoses and plug the vacuum ports, this will isolate weather any and all outside vacuum sources are creating an issue Making sure you have no vacuum leaks is a VERY good place to start. A carburator relies on a good vacuum signal.

I did get reasonable answers. Sorry i'm 20 and in college, i can't afford a 99 SS and a 2006 jeep. I'll try resetting the ECM and checking all the lines. For some reason it idles higher in neutral and park than it does in reverse or drive. It's not getting very good MPG, and it will "gurgle" gas up if you shut it off in park or drive with the high idle. Both carbs i have suffer the same problems, so i'm venturing to guess it's not the carbs that are bad.
