hey guys just got my Brian Crower Stage 2 camshafts in the car. However when i idle it goes up to 900-1,000 rpms and then jumps down to around 500-600 and feels like it almost dies. What could be causing this?

Somone said my Fuel injectors are probaly dirty and need to be cleaned, or they need to be upgraded to bigger ones with a new fuel pump. another person said its normal until i get it tuned. Another said that i need to adjust the fuel ratio, with a fuel regulator. Can you guys tell me what it is and some suggestings what i should do next to have it run in top condition. Thanks, Brian

if you havent done anything to the car other than install the cams, the random idle issues are normal.

until something (stand alone ecu: hondata/aem/crome/neptune/uberdata etc OR piggyback system: vafc, field, vmanage etc) modifies the fuel and ignition maps at idle, then you're going to see idle fluctuations.

even then, you'll still see a little fluctuation.

 

I suggest putting the stock cams back on, then when you ready and have done some serious work to the engine, slap them Stage 2 cams back on...

 

yups.. just wait til u do more to your motor and then slap on the cams

 

try getting cam gears also..

 

Just paid to put them in, i can't pay to take them out now.

Idle issues were Spark plugs that were very fried.. Now idles fine. Still running lean though need a fuel regulator.
