So here I have a 1996 eclipse with a fresh 420a totaly built(forged pistons, rods, cranke, BC springs and retainers, Crower st2 regrind cams, SS valves, obx adjustable cam gears REMARKED, obx intake man ported to match the 60mm aftermarket TB, fresh oil pump, water pump, 6.25 Qt oil pan with modified CM, oil filter relocation kit w/ cooler, NKG plugs, full SS exahust, with a t3/t4 turbo system that is not yet piped to the intake, just hopeing I could wait till next summer till I upgrade the injectors, plus gates racing timing belt w/ mechanical belt tensioner. Plus the motor has been fully ported, bored 20 over, and dipped.)

Now I have everything hooked up to run, have had it started a couple of times in which it runs rough and even when not under load it does not like to rev up much. Other times I can sit there trying to start and it trys but does not continue to run. Has had the same gas in it for close to a year, and Im hoping this is my problem, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has any other ideas to add to the mix.
Also I have a fuel pressure gauge and oil gauge installed and they are both reading normal values.

Any help or ideas would be great. Thanks.
