I kinda have this host of problems and questions mixed in with another post called Barn Door AFM questions. But I just wrote, one of the cam gears appears to be a half tooth off. Im going to order another oil sender when more money is available.

Please take your car to a repair shop and have an experienced set of eyes look at it.
Just give them a list of everything you have replaced

Not sure how to take that. I have a goal. No matter how many new parts and how many hours and how many stupid questions I ask, I want to concour this problem myself. But thanks, Bill.

well the reason for that post is that your now throwing money at an issue without any clear result.
This tells me that you need another set of eyes on the car to look through all that you have done and or possibly something that you might have missed.
Its quite possible that the problem is something that you may have already worked on .
I know you want find and fix the problem but i think that you should get another set of eyes on your car, this may be the quickest way to a running car.

I am frustrated with all of the diagnosis and new parts, that the car wont run properly

Didn't see mention of Cold Start circuit [injector and thermo-time switch].

Maybe richness from leaking C.S. injector?

CS injector isn't a bad guess. You could remove and cap it and see if the problem persists.

Do you have access to a wideband? I was able to diagnose a rich running problem by removing the stock O2, plugging in a wideband and adjusting the idle mixture and double checking the AFRs under load. It can be very useful to see if the problem is really a rich mixture or timing issue. Both can cause similar symptoms.
