Shift Kit is in, Engine Stalls on Startup

Hey guys, just got the Transgo shift kit into the Iroc...after alot of swearing, throwing, and kicking, it ended up working out, but I have one issue:

This has happened 3 times thus far. I will go to start the car, and the engine will crank, and detonate, but it stalls, like the tranny isnt catching it. I can hold the engine at about 3000rpm and it just wont catch and if i let off it stalls. Then, one or two more tries later, it catches...any ideas? Could this be that the band is too loose? I checked for clearance, and it was about 3/16 of an inch of play which was what the video claimed was the maximum you wanted it, while shimming the servo.

If you pulled the crossmember and lowered the trans to help with the install, check the distributor. May have wacked the firewall with it.

No, I didn't have to touch the mount, but I will re-check my timing. Any other ideas?

what about the TCC swtichs in the trans, you could have pinched a wire or mess something up in there. I think sometimes the TCC swtiches can go bad causing it to enagde to early or later or soemthing.... right anyone else?
