cc q jet, cars running like ****, no power, no secondaries

as said, and already written mostly here https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/memb...uld-say-5.html starting with post #266 its got no power, no top end, its getting hot as hell, just today i found a bolt/screw that could be part of the carb i don't know where it came from its got no more then month old fuel filter and thermostat fram filter failsafe tstat 180* no vacuum leaks i found them all and fixed them, new pcv valve, day old. old one was fine but i like to be sure. new plugs properly gapped, wires cap, rotor, coil, icm all less then 5 months old and less then 3000 mile son them. im stumped, thinking it may not be carb related and as i mentioned im gonna get the exhaust looked at tomorrow, im flat out of ideas any help is appreciated and everyone, so far ive not met a problem the community and this forum couldn't help me overcome with the car, i trust ill be able to fix this to

Re: cc q jet, cars running like ****, no power, no secondaries

not exactly, but short answer, yes. and no the fuse was for well everything electronic as naf told me. and when your tps, mcs. cts. ect ect arent working, your carb won work right, hence the running like ****, now two weeks after it first started (knocks on wood) atleast my troubles are over and i learned something i knew already but forgot, understand?
