What kind of fuel pressure are you running? What type of pressure regulator?
 
It sounds like you have too much fuel pressure. I think you would want to be around 36-38 with the vac line off at idle. That is what I have always been told and works for me.
 
I don't have a scanmaster at the moment using a fuel pressure tester but I think it's broke cause id think is that much fuel now.... Srry guys just need to this n still need to get the right tools for my job... But ik the right tools can y'all help??
 
The ground wire by the firewall was not ground I changed the spark plugs now the car runs a friend told me to start the car the unhook the cam sensor and I do and the car drive other then it's like it's about to cut off.. But I really don't know was up with this car.... I have a new cam sensor but don't want to waste the time if it's not really that cause I never drove the car that far just start it ride a block n park so idk..
