Ok...Have a 95GT with GT40p heads, e303 cam, 1.7 rr, trickflow street heat intake. Recently the oil pump took a crap locked up the engine. No problem. Had the engine rebuilt( looking to sell car anyway). Anyways car wont idle in gear AT ALL. Had the problem before engine rebuild, car has an aode with shift kit keep in mind. Replaced IAC valve.. no change. Stock computer in it. Yall think its in the computer, is the cam pullin too much vacuum???
Need help guys.......

I would vote that you need to get the computer tuned for the heads and intake, if you haven't already.

That is of cource once you check things like looking for a vacuum leak, upping the idle, etc.

i think tuning the computer is a last resort. e cams dont pull insane vacuum. big vacuum leaks are a huge problem. check between the upper and lower, then start hitting up things around it.
