i am hoping mine may be fuel related, it was doing it before the cam too but not is just alot more noticeable....hopefully it's fuel, when i last changed the fuel filter it was horrible, i can only imagine how my injectors look if they have never been toughed, plus i just did a pretty good amount in my rebuild and is .30 over and all that good stuff now, i hope injectors are my cure

 

Just finished loading up a PCMforless tune and it still misses. curses, i was hoping that would fix it (whatever is wrong) but it sure as hell idles better. I also have freescan and an AKM cable. What should i look for in free scan that would indicate a problem? the only thing that looks weird would be my start temp. which reads 32*F. the other sensors LOOK ok and i dont have any knock retard or anything. whats the next step?

 

check the opti again,check the valves not adjusted correctly?>loose plug wire etc.>Jake

 

any easy way to check the opti without yanking it off? Im gonna check the plugs as well, although i pulled one and it looked perfect. it idles fine though after the tune. wish i could beat on it.

 

ive come a long way and im enjoying it like hell, my project is almost finished, hopefully a month longer ($$$) for a few other things and ill be ready to start it, if i dont post on this forum in a month that means it exploded and im no longer here :P


most of what helped me was users on this forum , and the book for the car/motor and alot of printouts from sites like shoebox's and stuff And some decent knowledge with what i was doing, was fun as hell, all of it

 

i think you posted in the wrong topic. but congrats anyway!

 

hehe no, right place, i was just adding to what someone said about learning for first timers and stuff :P... if ya like to do it, you can do it with some reading and common sense

 

a car that hauls *** is worth the trouble

 

Since you were running with your O2's disconnected you probably fouled your plugs like I did.. Change em.. For 15 bucks you cant beat it.. Check that your coil is ok too.. It might be getting too hot on the block. Take some washers and space it out.. Try that stuff man.. Other wise we still on for the bon fire? Im taking my headers completly off and redoing the whole thing.. If that doesnt fix the exhaust leak im done and buying new ones..

 

its your opti, same sh*t is going on with me stutters and misses allot i'm pretty sure it's not fuel related i put new injectors same problem, i am still in the process of fixing mine but theirs no cash! i'm pretty sure you didn't seat it right because i sure didn't i have the ugly miss. do us a favor and change your opti.

 

LOL

have you read what he has been doing?

 

the plugs LOOKED ok but really were not. changed em out and runs like a dream.

 

Good deal, glad you got it running good now.

 

Your problem may come back, if you installed the cam just relying on the timing marks you are asking for trouble! Even a few degrees of with that cam and you will have trouble, hell you may even gain ten or twenty more horses doing it!

 

On our cars its pointless to degree the cam because of the optical distributor.. these cams usually have some timing ground into them, providing you put it in straight up.. you can even ask comp about that, guy gave me a 20 minute lecture on why these cars dont get degreed.. lol
