It is a computor controlled compatible cam. On Summits website it states its not but, its a misprint on their site. CompCams tech is the one who recommended this cam to me. Its the only computor controlled cam they have for the 5.0. The other one they have is the 35-255-5 fir the 351W.
My Bronco is an EFI. Everything is factory except cam and lifters.

check the basics
check the springs in the distr. remove the cap and turn the rotor one way or the other and it should spring back..if not the springs are broke...
just read your post EFI...............check the idle speed controle I guess..... I'm a carb man........

No, the cam gear is good. The dots were at 12 o'clock on the crank and 6 o'clock on the cam. Dots lined up perfectly. At TDC my #1 is point to almost 12 o'clock. I have read a few posts that say it should be pointing to 1 o'clock on the dizzy cap.

There are no springs on this rotor (not that I remember). Its electronic ignition. Its also a brand new dizzy.

Good idea. I'm going to try and move the dizzy over one tooth and see what that does. I'm an old school guy myself, I hate all this computor controlled crap. Give me engine that runs on a carb and points and I get it to work everytime.

Having the distrubutor a tooth off won't really affect anything. The location of the distributor is only important insofar as having the room to move it to get the timing to spec without the TFI module coming into contact with anything.
Did you happen to mess with the TPS on the throttle body or adjust the idle stop screw (which really isn't used to control the idle speed) when you raised you idle speed?
Idle speed is controlled by the IAC valve on the throttle body. It's a solenoid valve that opens on demand of the computer and routes air around the throttle butterfly to increase idle speed when the computer senses a load, such as putting the vehicle in gear. Are your wires to the tranny hooked up correctly? All vacuum lines connected to the right places?
Here's a good read on the TPS:

and on the IAC:

I would also do some poking around that site, it's darn good reference for EFI stuff.

Does your TPS have slots at the mounting screws that allow a little adjustment, or just holes so it's fixed in position? You can actually slot the holes if needs be in order to gain some adjustment if you need to recalibrate your TPS as per the instructions on the page I linked to. You'll need to do this along with returning that stop screw to its original position, as adjusting it like that will also throw off the calibration.
