i just installed new parts on the motor
new ,heads( gt40x ) ,cam( e303) , chain , upper and lower intake(trick flow track heat ),throttle body and egr (70mm)
,mass air 24 lbs( c&l ) and 24 lbs injectors and o2 sensor 's
i just got the motor to run with some help of guys on this site ( thank you )
by adjusting the adjusting bolt on the throttle body
and i also cleaned the iac on the throttle body
but it run like crap
it sputers at a higher rpm when driving
and seem's like the timing moves up on its own when i put the spout back on

anything that i missed ?

The timing moving when you put the spout back in is normal. When you put the spout back in it lets the computer control the timing advance.

all those new goodies put on, i bet the computer is going crazy trying to figure it all out. especially the new MAF & Inejectors. id suggest getting it tuned. youll pick up some power and the driveability should get a lot better.

just my .02

I'd figure maybe you have a vacuum leak, or you can try 'clocking' your MAF. C&L's are notorious for doing wierd things if the actual sensor inside the MAF is turned to a position where it doesn't want to be. Loosen the MAF, spin it 45 degrees, then 90, then 135, 180, 225, etc. and see what happens.

I RESET THE TIMEING TO 10 DEGREE
I CLEANED THE IAC
CHECKED FOR VACUME LEAKS.. CANT FIND ANY
I NOT SURE IF I GOT THE VACUME LINE ON THE TRICK FLOW TRACK HEAT UPPER INTAKE IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY..IF SOME ONE HAS A MANUAL ON CHART HOW ITS TO BE INSTALLED
I WILLBE CHECKING THE WIRES TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE GOOD
I WILLBE CKECKING THE MASS AIR METER AFTER I CLEAN THE WIRE WITH CARB CLEANER AND THEN CHECK IT BY ROATING IT BUT NOT SURE HOW TO FIX IT IF IT IS TO BE TURNED ?

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE INPUT
