S2 Pro Cam Gears

First off, this is my first all motor car. Ive dealt with turbo for a while now and i dont know the ins and outs of the NA world yet. Please dont jump on me because i did search and i couldnt find my answers.

I just put the cams and gears in as the last ones were stolen before i bought the car. The Intake and Exhaust gears are set @ 0 and 0. When i start the car it idles fine and revs fine. When i take it for a ride and come to a stop it dies. Is this a possible vacuum issue or a cam timing issue?

Usually this can be fixed by adding some timing into the decel area of the timing map.

You might also want to try adding some IACV duty cycle to keep the RPMs up a bit.

 

is there anything that i should be doing with my cam timing though?

i dont have a burner to edit my base.

 

Advance the EX cam 2 degrees or so. (counter-clock)

Thats what the man said. Do we need the Master of the Universe to come in and shout it in a Cajun accent?

 

c'mon now. ive got more common sense than most people on here and have been messing with these cars for some years now. i understand what he said but my question was wether or not to leave the intake alone or not...

now that that is out of the way, should i do the intake +2 and exhaust -2?

can i just get a straight answer?

to add to this the car had S2S2's with UR cam gears that were stolen. i just want some direction with this.

if im understanding correctly as this thread is going.... i should do one or the other? not both?

 

jason
dont just go jumping into adjusting cam gears without making sure there is good clearanc,e (expecially ) when vtec is engaging, u could end up with bent valves and be SOL

call me i can explain, but call me tomorrow

thanks for the help dan.

 

Please read my reply. ADVANCE the EX. Leave the IN alone. Advance is not the same as Retard. Or just just do what you were going to do anyway.

This will definitely help as well. It will get you by until you can get it tuned.

 

thank you guys very much!

 

I know its old but maybe i can still help. +3* intake and +4* exhaust are what skunk2 recommends as Quick settings

the pro series cam gear marks represent 1* while the tuner series represent 2*
