Idle surge problem
I did a quick search on this problem I'm having. Didn't find anything that matches my problem.
When the car is cold and I start my 94 Del sol (B16) the idle is steady. But if I try to drive the car before it warms up, the idle starts surging from 1000-2500rpms, sometimes dying. I have replaced the idle control valve, but the idle still wiggs out once in a while. What else could it be? All this started after I had the Skunk2 stage 1 cams installed. The shop that installed the cams has already adjusted the valves twice, timed the car twice, and checked everything for leaks. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Re: Idle surge problem (SweetSol)
Have you checked for any vaccum leaks? Maybe your timing is off a tooth or so? When I changed my cam gears and didn't align the cam gears up, my car did the same thing, I was one tooth off on my intake side.
