Here is what had been done. stock pistons notched for trick flow stage 2 cam and canfield heads longer push rods 1.6 roller rockers and a pete jackson gear drive, Holley intake and 70 mm throttle body,24 pound injectors, and c& L meter calibrated to the injectors. fired the engine up it cranks right up but will not idle and when you try to rev it up it all of a sudden jumps up. will not take the fuel slowly. It also pops back through the intake. I have adjusted the rockers. I even had someone else come and adjust them still the same.

Could the pete jackson gear drive be a tooth off and cause this problem I have had someone run the car and I used a timing light to check timing it is ok by the mark and it is set on 14btc. anyone have any ideals.

Did you degree the cam on install to be certain of the cam timing? Have you pulled the diagnostic codes out of the computer?
