5.0 barely runs

hello, need help, I have a 5.0 engine,93 engine with EFI,engine starts then barely runs,step on acceserator and engine barely idles,sounds good about fisrt second or two when starting. I put timing light on it and whats weird it flashes properly when first starting engine, after is starts though, the light flases very eratticly, hoping this might be a clue to whats wrong. Any ideas where I need to look for the problem??
Thanks for any ideas.

In addition, you need to put the SPOUT plug to check base timing.
