Things good:
Fuel pressure: it was running fine rich and had power.
Cam timing: should be perfect, visually checked multiple times.
Meh category:
IAC: well I didn’t have the coolant looping thru it previously, but the wire harness was connected to it and was idling and running fine when rich.
Engine cooling system: need to add some hose clamps to one hose, but the thermostat was replaced. Engine got to be to hot to touch but radiator was cold. Need to check with thermometer to see if coolant will flow if given more time to heat up thermostat.
Smell of oil burning, I lost the screws to the rocker arm cover at the moment and ended up leaking oil from the seal when running, probably down onto the exhaust manifold causing the burning smell.
I will need to do further testing and utilize my scan gauge.
I don’t think it’s the mass air flow sensor because I remember unplugging it and having no change.
Things for me to check then:
Unplug o2 sensor, does engine run rich with no stalling?
Check IAC, ECT, MAF, TPS, sensors with scan gauge.
Is cooling system working?
