Ok so I just installed the GoPower Camshaft for the R18 and its running rich as hell (10.14) and it sputters out and dies after 30 seconds. I was told that the vacuum length is super high for where it is. (Idk what that means but I guess its bad) doesnt stay running for long. I'm guessing its a vacuum leak but I havent found anything yet. IDEAS???

 

is your timing correct?

 

no its probably off but its been looked at by Dr. Rulo from e-tunez.com and he couldnt do anything about the sputters and stalling

 

if mechanical timing is off it wont run correctly until you fix it

 

isnt the r18 electronically controlled timing? i lined up TDC when I tore it apart and lined it up again on rebuild.

 

Youknow you need a tune to run a new cam.

Idk if that helps or not

 

Oh I know. My car is currently sitting at National Speed Performance in Wilmington, NC for a tune. Theres more wrong than just a tune needed. my AF sensor is reading backwards and my ECU is overcompensating for the incorrect reading.
