Need more info . Give us the back story and how you got it running.

Well put a new cam and timing chain kit in, had no spark replaced the cam sensor that was the problem surprisingly. So it runs idles fine but when you put it in any gear it bogs down and has no power wont do a brake stand.

The tps and blms are set within range

How did you set the cam sensor? You can start the engine then unplug the cam sensor. If it runs better, it means the cam sensor is n/g or set wrong.

If you touch any of the vacuum lines and your hand comes back black they all probably need replaced. Cracked, leaky lines cause vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks lead to poor running engines.

unplugged cam sensor no differance. switched maf also no change

Ok. Worth a try. So in your first post you say it won't brakestand. Any header leaks? If this cam is bigger than stock it might not like a stock torque convertor. Bigger cams like looser convertors.

How does it drive?

Need the basics air, fuel ,. Spark. How's the fuel pressure?

I hope you followed a cam break-in procedure, yes? How many miles on the cam since put in?

 

[white 86 t]

Update still having problems. Fuel pressure is perfect. I replaced all vacuum lines

when you changed that cam sensor, the whole thing or just the cap?

 

[TexasT]

Do you have a scanmaster?
What do you have the fuel pressure set to at idle with the vacuum line off the regulator?
Does it run better when you get out on the road or just at idle?

ok cool.

I just changed the cap

Take the cap off and try to turn to reluctor ring with your fingers, it should not move. There is a tiny tab that can break off. I'd unscrew it and see if the tab is gone.
