Run the engine, unplug each coil one at a time. If the idle gets worse then its good, If the idle stays the same that cylinders bad. It could be a bad coil pack, or injector. Also could be a bad ignitor.

I see what you mean by checking it with that before I attempt to take my CAS out. I think it might be best to play with the CAS by retarding or advancing it to start with, then check it with the timing light and if all else fails try and take the CAS out and stick back on the right tooth?

Thus when they get shipped out they just slap them on and do not set them on the correct timing.
how to fix...
***** DISCONNECT BATTERY TERMINALS***
1-remove coil pack on cyl #1
2-remove plug on cyl #1
3-insert a long flat screw driver in the plug hole
4-turn the crank till you see the timing marks on the crank pully and you will line up (from left to right) the timing post to the second scribe mark.
5-make sure the screw driver went all the way up that means its is on TDC
6-take off the 2-12mm bolts that hold the CAS in place.
7-slide out the CAS and see how it lines up. the gear should line up with the mark of the housing to the first dot on the right (cas against your stomach) if not thats your problem line it up and pop it back in.
hope this helps. if you have any questions feel free to call me

That's great advice. I am finishing my swap which means it hasn't really ran since it came off the boat. I would not have ever known that If I googled for a week straight
Now I do want to play with the CAS a little to see if it will fix it. Maybe its on the right tooth by chance because it does start up. Maybe I just need to advance it or retard the timing. Can I wiggle the CAS while the car is running?
Update:
I tried to adjust the CAS and it seemed to get better when I retarded the timing, but just not good enough. I'll grab a timing gun tomorrow and pull out the CAS and stick it back in. Its gotta be on the wrong tooth. When I connect the timing gun, do I connect it to the wires going to the coil pack #1. I don't have spark plug wires so I'm not sure.
