Updated info on burning rich-still your futher advice
Maf/sensor and relays are good
New 02 sensor
Engine had a tune up
New distrib cap/roater
Checked fuel pressure with guage and holds at 42 psi
New PCV valve
Recieving code 36 still and car still hard starts but seems to idle ok after warmed up a bit -also stalled out today-running too rich
-the timing is a little too advanced (we adjusted with timing light and then another friend of mine did it by hand to just get it to idle better)
Engine is 305 truck engine with Camaro TPI bore .30
aftermarket flat head pistons, aftermarket crane camshaft with 110 max lift .
Is there something that has to be adjusted or changed for the air fuel mixture because of new cam heads bore??? Anything else should I check
Thank you ahead of time for your assisstance -IonNight

Did you, and your friend disconnect the set timing connector when you set the timing?
How much base timing do you have now?
You can only change the base timing, the ECM controls the timing to make it idle/run better.
The ECM needs to know what the base timing is set at, did you reprogram the ECM with the new setting?
Once you set the timing correctly, set your minimum air rate, and TPS idle & WOT voltage.

It's in my second reply to the post.
