Those tensioners can be picky. I would check the pressure on that and the round idler looking pulley too. No easy task in that kind of car though. On a related note I know the computers in them are terrible, they blow capacitors all the time. If you can find another computer from someone it wouldnt hurt swapping that out and seeing what that does. I hope you find the problem soon!

Are you talking about the ECU? Im on the 3000 GT forums and im pretty sure i can get one for cheap. But i dont even have the Chilton book on it yet so i dont really know where shit's at.

did you ground out the adjustment connector when you checked the timing?

Alright.. I took the car back to the shop today and they are going to recheck everything. And i appreciate everything. Yea i could use all the help i can get with this thing.

for the bad ecu part.. i have a stock one for a tt you could try but

a. you cant keep it
b. usually when they go bad you experience exactly what you are experiencing... minus the clicking under the dash
c. if your friend knew what he was doing your timing is still off so make them hunt down the cause of the problem... sad part is, you could just have bad or tangled spark plugs wires.

also look and see which direction the plug for your cam sensor is facing...

I would if i had the car in my possesion. I know where my cams are but i dont know where the hell the sensor is. Also it could be that my wires arent in order. And i cant find any diagram that tells me my firing order.
