i just installed an aem adjustable cam gear on my 1994 honda accord ex. i was wondering what i should adjust it to for the best performance? What Degrees Advance or Retard???? any help is appreciated

 

you have a stock SOHC engine.....its not gonna do much....but ud want to advance the timing a bit

 

i have all the basic stuff intake header exhaust what degrees should i advance it to because my car hesistates around 1500 rpms and someone told me its the cam gear not adjusted right does that sound right??

 

naws mang! yooz all wrong! dat iz da vtak kickin on
(pitiful attempt to create the mad tyte talk fw190 does....i have a feeling he will do me one better)

 

its like the car shimmers around 1500 rpms in first gear. its an automatic.. and i had the tranny rebuit and it still does it. a mechanic told me its prolly something to do with the cam gear because i had all the belts replaced and that didnt help either?!?! any idea what it could be ?

 

only in first gear?

 

yes... only around 1500 rpms in slow acceleration.. doesnt do it when i go fast.

u need reset it back to zero....then, if u want to try to make more power, advance the timing....AEM is a good company, so it should have come with directions to explain what each level represents, and which way is retard/advance.....

 

alright ill try that. but do you think the adjustments being off on the cam gear could cause the car to shimmer like i described? or do you think its something else ?mine came with no instructions... im a trial user so i cant post more than 5 post a day so ill keep editing this one!!!!! i got it from ebay brand new in a box!

that means it was either used, or a scam.....AEM always has long (and sometimes complicated) directions
