got my car out of storage and it runs horrible, 9'1 afr's and dies, dsmlink shows timing off the scale at 62 degrees, pretty sure this issue is causing my car to run bad, i flashed the ecu back to stock values so no tune but still 62 degrees of timing, bad sensor? bad wiring? help me out guys!
 
I'[m assuming that this is a cold start log? First thing I see is that your ISCPosition drops to 0 and stays there. That means that the ECU has no control of the airflow at idle. You need to either adjust the BISS to drop idle until the ISCPosition settles on ~35 at idle or calibrate the TPS. From there, let it warm up and then log again.
 
The running rich could be from bad gas sitting to long drain some out in a clear container from the fuel line and look at the color it should be very close to water. And the timing check your timing belt to make sure it didn't jump teeth.
 
here's an updated log, cant get the car to even warm up it runs so rich like 9-1, my timing belt is bang on checked it today, any opinions when looking at this new log? i notice estimated boost is up there so the car thinks its making boost at idle ?? also i notice my 02 sensor isn't doing anything, i know my isc isn't calibrated properly, anyting you guys see thats wrong??

I would reset your tune to the basic suggested settings for your fuel injectors. Idle adjustments, are difficult to tune if basics are not completed first. Follow the tutorial: (completed on 2g, but concept is the same for 1g)

After these have been verified, then you can safely adjust idle.

Can you post a log that is a few minutes and not 17 seconds?

From taking a look at this short log it looks like the o2 sensor might be dead.

Also your airflowperrev is extremely off.

On a good setup You'd expect to see 0.24-0.28 g/rev for AirflowPerRev at idle. Source: https://www.ecmtuning.com/wiki/quickieafsetup

It also looks like your using 10.1% InjDuty @ idle. (0% ThrotPos)

You definitely have a lot of problems on your hands.
