Also the plugs if anything suggested it was running lean, which is unusual because my last SR (with the same computer and most of the sensors) ran rich most of the time.
Would an SR act like this if the timing was off? When I got the engine the CAS was turned as far as it would go to the right. I centered it out. At one point I tried to play with the timing (just by sound, I dont have a light), and any way I would adjust it the RPM would lower and then correct itself and run normal again.
I have a friend with a timing light, so I'd like to try and make sure its timed right (to 15btdc) but given its performance under heaver throttle I doubt timing is the issue. One other thing is I have heard reference to timing mode, so I looked up how to put the car into timing mode, but never found out exactly what timing mode does. Does it keep the timing from advancing when you raise the RPM? Does the computer go out of timing mode as soon as you shut the car off?

Haven't played with sr in a while...timing mode as I recall can be done by turning the ecu screw. I agree with ultimateirving. Do a bit of readi g on timing. I do not see it being related to any other sensors, besides CAS. Especially since u said it was way cocked when the motor arrived. Make sure she didn't jump a tooth. get back to us.

To make sure 100% the timing is right, its recommended to remove the VC and verify the links on the timing chain match up to the marks on the cam.
There are about as many writeups how to set the timing, as mcdonalds has served worldwide.
