    Check the cam timing as well as the ignition timing. (Not sure which you checked, or if you did both.)

    Check all the vacuum lines too.

    Make sure you set the timing with the Coolant temp sensor unplugged. Some cars like 10 advance at idle, some like 12-14 advance.

    Might as well check the fuel pressure while you are in there. Just in case.

    Do you have any codes? have you verified fuel pressure? what else is done to it? did this just happen or ?

    Re: car falls on face

    i have some good news. i got rid of borg warner hep with factory and now the car runs good. but now some other issues. first gear car runs rich wide open 10.6 wideband and 2nd gear is 12.2 lean could this be clogged fuel filter or is the pump getting weak and not able to keep up. checked fuel pressure and it reads good 56psi. car is still slow and its having trouble building boost but im not worried about that yet

    It could be the pump is weak, if its modded with a bigger turbo, your taxing the stock pump, especially if its old. Of course check the filter.
