I do not have a fuel pressure gauge - but will ask a buddy if he has one.
The way the car revs so freely when in neutral I really don't suspect a fuel pressure issue but one never knows

When the car does catch and fires up it sounds beautiful. Will sit at idle nice - no hunting no spitting or sputtering, Can be freely revved up and can hold at any RPM and is steady.

Can you actually slip one tooth on a sprocket and still have a smooth running car?

How does one check to see if all the chains are in the correct position? - We locked all the chains and the pulley before we removed the old bearing. Removed all the locks after the install was complete.

Thanks for the ideas
Keep them coming
Appreciate the Help.

When we did the work we also replaced the AOS - Is there a chance that a bad AOS could cause these issues. Improperly installation cause these problems.

I have looked at the connections as best I can - on the top the connecting pipe had a broken clamp that went onto the top of the AOS - I fixed it up and seems to be holding well. If i wiggle the pipe slightly it makes no difference to how the car is running.

Fired up the car today - started great but once warmed up it would not idle properly and was tough to start.

Borrowed a OBD code reader from a buddy
Had 3 codes in - 2 were related to O2 sensors
1 was the crank sensor

Cleared codes - Ran car and let it quit a couple times - No CEL came on
Put OBD on again - Crank sensor failure code.

Did a little reading on Pelican site to see how tough it is to change and if it could be done with trany in - Seems it can be changed without trany removal - Just a bit of a crap job.

A few of the people who wrote in about the sensor failure seem to be having the same issues as I have - a couple were right after clutch changes also.

Will order in a new one tomorrow and may take a night this week and put it in.

Hope this is it.

Again - Thanks for all the help and the push to get a code reader.

Will be purchasing one of my own soon.
