I recently got my car back together after a cam swap and I also swapped the dash. When I start the car it will rev up to about 3k and hover around a little for about 10 seconds, and then it will die. It will even do this if I ground the timing pin via ECMLink. The only code I pull p1300, which is ignition timing adjustment circuit malfunction. I heard link throws this code when the timing pin is grounded. Here is a log of the start-up:
