I went to the track last Friday night,and I adjusted the fuel pressure a few times while I was there.Now it idles like it has a cam.( and it doesnt,its a stock motor )Its real lopy. And when I start it in the morning it stalls out until it is warmed up. I could use some suggestions guys,thanks!!

What is your fuel pressure set at? What mods do you have? How high/low did you adjust your fuel pressure? Maybe you just need to turn you idle up a bit, what's it idle at?
 
I brought it up to around 45-46 pounds,then back to 39.Timing was only at 12 degrees.It does idle a little low,but when I start it when its cold,it goes up to 1500rpm and goes back down to 0. (stalls) It usaully stops at 1100 rpm,for a minute,then drops to idle.
 
Check your TPS and air bypass valve first. Mabye running that high pressure hurt your cats (if your still running them). Rich running car is the worst things for cats. Do you have a code reader?
