Sorry guys im new to this forum but not really new to other forums i had a ? it's kind of an emergency because im stranded so here goes. I took my car to a shop here because my timing belt had snapped due to a bad tensioner so they fix it supposedly but when i went to pick it up today it's just dying and running extremely rich. So unless my foot is on the gas it's dying. I had them adjust the idle screw but it didnt help i also tried turning the cas that to didnt affect it. I am completely confused on why this is happening but it didnt happen prior to this. I dont really have any special mods 16g supporting fuel mods and 3inch gm maf and maf translator. Any ideas guys? Sorry i made it so long im just confused.
 
kind of an update i was there today did a compression check it's 120 across also did an alterator check that was fine how ever i heard a leak around the intake manifold and when the mechancic sprayed at the injector it was revving up like it was goin through.
 
Still no report on valve timing? AXE HIM TO MAKE SURE ALL VALVE TIMING MARKS LINE UP! say "Yo dawg, can you please make sure all the of the valve timing components line up to their corresponding marks, and also if its not too much of a hassle, make sure the cam dowels are pointing in their vertical position at about 12o'clock and the cam gear marks all line up to a verified strait edge. Thanks homie"

Yes, say that exactly.
