Idle problems after new cam?
Ok guys, I found maybe 90% of the problem.
I readjusted my rocker arms. Bryan at pcmforless suggested they may be too tight and hell yes...they were. I hated that tapping sound so I had my friend adjust them twice. They may make a little more noise now, but it's worth it to have a car that will idle.
I hope this can help some of you other guys.
Bryan at pcmforless is cool.
Thanks,
Mark

Okay I swapped in a 58mm TB with a new IAC, and readjusted the rockers @ zero lash I went 1/2 additional turn. The car idled but at like 500rpm and eventually died.
I had to rev it up to keep the car running and it pretty much stumbles and hits a brick wall around 2-3.5K and will rev freely from 3.5K+.
Im thinking when my opti got drowned that it messed something up....Im thinking about yanking the water pump off and swapping in my old opti that I know works.
What do you guys think?
