Default Just got a fox

Just got an 87 Fox for the girlfriend and now the car won't hold idle after I took out intake to clean it out and replace the air filter. It has spark, but i'm not sure how to check the fuel.. it does kinda smell like fuel after a couple of times I try.

Also the oil pressure light came on.. the oil was almost gone so I changed it and hooked up a oil gauge and still the pressure was way too high.. 100psi.. maybe even higher(the gauge wont go more than 100psi). I suppose that the problem is with the relive valve at the oil pump.. or a block oil passage.

The not holding idle is the biggest problem.. I'm also not familiar with this kind of fuel inyection, so please be specific with your replies.

Thanks

I sort of took out the oil pan today. I took all the bolts out but the back of the oil pump seems to be stuck and cant get it out.. Does anybody know that if other than the bolts a crossmember is there anything else that should be removed?
