From the garage (finally):
Pulled apart most ic piping, no rags stuffed anywhere. Also tried hooking up intake right to TB, no does exact same thing.
No CELs, only one was from when I started it with the sensor unplugged.
Reflashed ecu with stock rom, same thing.
Popped off valvecover, liquid gold (oil) everywhere, yay!

Gonna check timing and swap fuel pump relays.

Lomker, remember when your car wouldn't't start on that angle/grade? How low were you on gas? I have a solid 1/3 tank. Maybe I'll get a few gallons of gas to pour in?

The Bosch 044 that I had installed was over-running the stock fpr and causing it to flood out. Not sure why that was more of an issue at an angle than when level. I had a lot of fuel and a surge tank so it wasn't a pickup issue.

Your symptoms do remind me of when DoughtCom was running without an fpr.

Actually, they're the exact opposite. His car ran fine until you touched the throttle, and then it would try to die.

Anyway, great to see that (almost) everything's working.

It was fueling. Exact opposite would be air or something. Nice try, though.
