I replaced the phasers, chains, tensioners, oil pump and followers. Once back together went to start and have a rough idle. After about 30 to 45 seconds idle drops way down and then dies. I have watched live data on it and the power balance shows good. I know it acts like a vacuum leak, have sprayed starting fluid all over the lines and intake and it doesn't get pulled into the engine. I am at my wits end with it. It is a 2006 5.4 3v with 192,000 miles. Before the swap it ran fine just bad fuel mileage and was getting the over retarded.code.for the passenger side. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I have searched this and other forums and can't find anything like this.

Are you getting live data from FORScan or FORScan Lite? Am curious as to what you’re seeing for advance error and anything related to cam timing. Sounds like you’ve covered that.
