SO JUst installed an Engine that has been rebuilt.
Symptoms: When cold will start fine and idle great,But once it gets warm, the idle will jump around weird even the rpm needle looks wierd and will shut off, Oh and will this is happening is starts to smell rich super rich,then i try to turn it on again and it won't it will jjust pop and studder and wont fire up right, I checked the spark plugs and they are black and kind of wet, Gas wet. I swaped Mas,tps,cam angle sensor,spark plugs,wires,ignitor,coils,ignition module,double cheked timing,and swaped injectors, and have a data logger and the only things i saw that was wondering, on the air flow rate reading when engine off it shows, 1lbs so is it suppose to read that? then when it try to turn on it just kind of jumps to 3lbs but turns off, and also if i step on thotle there is no response once the car starts acting weird...
 
I say get new spark plugs and check and make sure they are gapped correctly. Do you have an upgraded fuel pump and a FPR?
 
no everything is stock, and for the plugs i got new ones and gaped them it ran good for about a minute and then it turned off i checked them and they were black, i'm thinking is going to be the ecu
