Heres the 2nd start up vid, seems like when motor is fully warmed up after reving theres some blue smoke, not sure why. I do have some seafome in the oil and additives in the gas. And when shifting to or quickly by nuetral position triggers car to shut down??

I think the valve stem seals are compromised as a result of terrible care by the previous owner. No amount of seafoam is going to fix that. As for stalling, the car looks like it's running VERY rich at idle and that could flood the motor and kill it when the engine decelerates. Friend of mine has this problem on his SR and is trying to track down the rich condition. Can you pull and check engine codes?

I think your supposed to let the seafoam run through you engine for a couple of minutes, and then drain the oil and refill with fresh oil and filter. It could be the seamfoam causing the smoke as that's what it does when its doing its magic

Ya Ive changed the oil, seemed to help a little bit, going to a junk yard to get a throttle cable. Also I noticed my exhaust doesn't bolt up at all, have to re weld it.
* Main problem I need in for on is the Stalling when in Park or Neutral. Start it up fine it drives forward and reverse but ANYtime the shifter passes threw Neutral or Park it will shut down lol. Ive searched and found minimal answers. Need help!

I think it's valve seals as well. Seafoam produces a white smoke not burning oil blue smoke. Valve seals aren't a huge deal and you can do them with the head still on the car it's just alittle tricky

* Well first test run after throttle cable (geo prism) open DP it seems to shift ok and drive perfectly fine, haven't really got in to boost, everything works except directional s RPM gauge, oil/water sensor. But other than my ears ringing no smoke no leaks. And ya i'm not sure about the park/neutral wire Ive tried grounding it and adding voltage.

Glad it seems to run fine. Do you guys know if we were suppose to switch the shift linkage from the ge transmission? Im having issues with my shifter. Your coolant temp sensor isnt working? When mine was done it was stuck on high but after grounding the wire it worked fine. Like yours my tach isnt working.

Ali SC3 for the tach you need to do the resistor mod on the back of the n/a tach.
Tried to get some pics of the cleaned up engine bay but the sun was a Bit*h
