I recently got cam gears, thin head gasket, fuel regulator and dyno'd my car. Ever since I did that, there are times when I have absolutely no power in the 1000-2000 RPM range. It feels like my car has 20 HP and I would have to rev it up to at least 3000-4000 RPM to get my car going from a full stop. Once the car is warmed up, it happens less. But when I have my A/C on, whether or not my car is warmed up, it pratically happens at every full stop. Anyone have a clue on what could be the problem?

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that my car idles at around .5 RPM (sometimes dips into .25 RPM) when my A/C is on. The car shakes and feels like it's going to die, but it never does. Without the A/C, it happens occasionally.

Back to the tuner for you, good luck.

 

i dont know **** but it sure doesnt sound too well.

go get it checked

 

Yeah, it's definitely going back. I was going to go back after I get my header and other mods installed anyways. Do you think it's the settings on my cam gears? What do you think could be causing this?

 

so from what i know.. what you just got is. cam gears, thin head gasket, fuel regulator

even with camgear setup wrong or at zero. i know it will still work but it could be set at wrong place.
and i'd make sure your fuel regulator is hooked up good.
and all other fuel lines..

 

Everything looks good. I think it's just an idle issue. My car seems to idle really low sometimes and that's when it feels like I have no power whatsoever. Just need to figure out why my idle is fluctuating like that. Is this normal for a car with my mods? I have stock R cams and stock ECU.
