Hell, my KR problem was so bad I got a constant 3 degrees at idle!, not to mention totally erratic readings after that.
I had to replace the injectors to get it to fire for the first time as my stockers were stuck open from sitting. After that, it leaked like crazy out of the WP shaft hole in the timing cover, I replaced it like 4 times in a week before it sealed up. Then, within the first 20 miles after the motor was done, my damn T56 locked the tires and I nearly wrecked on the freeway- Guess the mechanic forgot to fill it back up with ATF, at least thats what the shop that fixed it said. It was in the shop for three months gettin' a dyno tune after that, they accidently fried my PCM twice by not disconnecting the Scanmaster before downloading(waited 4 weeks each time to get PCM fixed and sent back). Then, while waiting for a PCM, my car got broke into at the shop and I got my new MTX amp and Excelon deck ripped off.
Everythings been resolved but, my fuel trims are still off(which I've learned to live with), I zeroed the KR in the PCM, and it still eats optis every few hundred miles a year later. Somethings done right though, runs the times in the sig through a stock catback, shorties, and unported stock heads.
Your problems aren't that bad after a new motor install. Sounds like evreything will be ironed out by the end of the week.
BTW- my stock starter turns my 11.8:1 motor just fine.

I'd put a new PCM in it, if it doesn't fix it, you can sell for what you paid for it. Every PCM has certain "gremlins" too small to show up on the program.

I would be looking at a Opti problem, do you have access to a ociliscope? I have seen one 93 that the distibutor was damaged on install and dident start at all I beleve it had the same code as yours.

Update!
Well, re-did the lash tonight, and when I first started the car it idled up to 2k RPM. The Accel box was working fine, just a bad ground. Then it donned on me that I had a fried chip in the car. Burned a new chip, and double checked the driver side rockers. I confirmed what I thought, that I had knocked two out of there while putting the cover on, so after resetting those, we fired it up. Kicked right over, idled up, then settled to about 1100 while "learning" if you will. Unfortunately, I think the ramp rates are so agressive that zero lash on the Comp R's isn't enough, as we heard a couple jump off the pushrods. Going to pull the valve covers once again tomorrow and set a little more lash in this time. Car sounds great though. Still haven't confirmed if the fuel issue remains, but I didn't throw the High Res Pulse today either. Baby steps are getting bigger.......
