Just installed my CTR cams and SKunk2 gears last week and now all of a sudden my car dies at stop lights. When i do freeway driving and come to a stop its fine, but anytime i do city driving the car just dies. I adjusted the idle screw on the throttle body and that helped a little but its still dying. No CEL. I set the timing and sprockets back to stock. Any ideas?

 

clutch problems could cause that as well

 

What kind of clutch problem could do that?? I really need to know because my tranny's been trippin and just today my idle falls at stoplights also and dies. It comes down to like 400rpm and dies. Someone please help us...

 

One possibility is that your valve lash is off, you might want to try re-setting it

 

was this immediately after installation or a couple days to a week after install?

 

week after install....

 

should have nothing to do with the cams then.
its somthing else.

 

If you have installed very agressive cams then your car will have problems Idling, if you keep the revs about 2k if should be fine, thats why you dont run race cams on the street....just my .02

 

Mine started doing the same thing after a couple of days after a timing belt and waterpump install.

 

And the problem was?

 

well, he mentioned it was CTR cams..

i think the problem may lie in the new cams also, but more in the fact that the ECU is having a hard time adjusting to the new cams properly...

not sure if this is related, but this has happened to me before with my lightened flywheel...my car was getting to the point that it would almost die at idle..and it did a few times, sometimes even would die when i push the clutch in and let the RPM's drop...i guess they would drop too fast and the car would die...
