Thumbs down Low RPM stumble after cam install

I had a cam installed and now I have a low RMP stumble. I checked the wires to the opti they are routed correctly with no burns, I re-gaped the ngk plugs, replaced the coil. I'm using Madwolf's programming. It's not throwing any codes, what do you think it is?

What does the tps cost? I forgot to mention If I don't let my car warm up for a couple minutes it will die as soon as I put it in drive.

Re: Low RPM stumble after cam install

Did you also upgrade to 30lb SVO injectors at the same time? If you did that might be causing the problem. Mine when cold definitely have a low rpm type stumble that goes away after a few mintues of warming up.

Re: Low RPM stumble after cam install

sounds like cam lope to me... is the car running fine at higher revs? try and tune your idle (if at all possible) to about 1200 RPMs, see if that does it... where is it stumbling?
