Does it matter if the engine is hot or cold? does it run differently?

No it does not. I order a temperature sensor i just read that could cause this problem with Chevrolet's.

this is a good one. have you verified battery voltage at low and high rpm and at the engine control unit?
i think you said you did the timing. do you have a scan tool that can read live data while the engine is running?

Hey WESWALKER88,

I am starting to think you may have a broken valve spring. can you remove the valve cover and check each spring with a flash light please? Also, while you have the valve cover off check the camshaft lift while cranking the engine over see if one of the rockers is not moving as much. Disconnect the coils so the engine does not start.

Best, Ken
