I checked the codes on my car and got nothing. I cleaned the maf, iac and throttle body and my car is still running sorry. I have 80 miles put on it and on almost half a tank.

Things I have tried

Plugs at .054, wires, cap, rotr, air filter, fuel filter, timing is on 11-12. Used some cheap fuel injector clean. My brother knows someone who has a machine to clean out the fuel system. Do you guys think this will help?

what kind of gas milage are you getting? I got over 2k rpms once yesterday and 98% of the time I was below 1.5k rpms. I burned almost a 1/4 tank within 32miles.

Try playing with the timing a bit. Maybe set it at 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, etc., and run it on the road at each setting (possibly even read the spark plugs at each setting. Finding the sweet spot can make a hugh difference.

I had already advanced the timing from 8 to 11. Today I bumped it up just alittle bit more. I am running regular gas in it so I don't think I can go much higher. Also timing wouldn't affect my gas milage would it?
