Still runs with lower power, but I'm not a major traffic hazard anymore.Swapped IAC, got a little better and smoother.Swapped cam synchro assembly and sensor (retarded the timing on the first two tries, but got it now - finding TDC is a pain) - little improvement, but still the same (or worse) sputter on acceleration. Had to turn the engine by hand a couple of times for alignment, it definitely has compression.I can now press the gas slowly and she revvs all the way up, and she has more power now. When I press the gas too rapidly in neutral she sputters and stumbles, though it evens out a little when she starts to warm up. Does smell like excessive fuel now, and I burned through 1/4 tank in the 15 miles I have driven so far.New injectors are in the mail now. I'll post back once they're installed, but if that doesn't fix it I need to get another car to go to school and save up for a new engine. Prob gonna do a v8 swap then. Go big or go home.Thanks everybody for the advice. I hope I can conclude that thread in a couple of days.</blockquote>
