Default Car will not idle after heads/intake install. HELP!

I started my car up yesterday after heads/intake/fuel/clutch and other stuff and it ran great, idle was perfect. I also started it again today, but I just went to start it again after changing the oil and it will not idle, just quits... I adjusted the idle screw just so it stays running, idle is very rough..up and down. Any ideas??? It ran gread hours before I changed the oil, the only other thing I did was re-assemle the interior, could I have pulled a wire there??

TTT, getting it dyno'd in a day! Is it possible with the new injectors and heads that my old tune is causing the stalling issue?

Just curious, did you check your PV with that cam and the Darts? They have larger valves and less drop height.

I did not check it, but I did my calculations and read up on the issue and there should be clearance with the mild cam I have and .051" gaskets, I've seen people with bigger cams have no issues with these heads. Also I heard they set up like stock.

If your on the stock tune, your computer probably did a little learning (while it was idling) and is trying to compensate for some of the mods.
