i everyone...i bought an 86 prelude about 6 weeks ago and drove it home from indiana to mississippi...then drove it to work for 2 weeks without any issues...

to make a long story short, the float(s) stuck and i had to remove the cars to fix them...as you're probably aware, there a million vac lines and electrical on the carb'd cars which i had to remove to get the carbs out of the car

i repaired and replaced the carbs capping off and plugging all the vac ports i could find on the carbs and intake...all of the electrical contraptions...Air Vent Cut-off Solenoid, etc are not connected

the problem is the car will start but only run if it's fully choked...as soon as you open the chokes, the car dies..

can anyone help me in determining what needs to be connected, to what and where and anything else i can do or check to try to fix the problem....the cars been like this for about 5 weeks now and i'm very frustrated

TIA
