So I finally got my car running and I'm a little stumped on a little problem. It seems that my idle can't "catch" itself after a little spirited driving. It will just die out. Could it be because the RPMs are falling too fast, or is there something further that I'm missing.

I know I need to redo the valve lash on the intake side. Not sure if that will have anything to do with it.

I didn't have this problem on my old setup.

You are going to want to run the idle rpm higher if you are running a lighter flywheel/crank to keep it from stalling. It could also be a tune issue.

 

Thanks for the advice. I think the idle dropped a few hundred rpm, so I need to adjust that.
