[turbo-da]

i have a b18c1 i just put cams in idk what they are but not stock dose not idle at low rpm win it dose it at 2k and sounds like a miss but not a miss i check look at timing it looks good need hlp plz

[hatch520]

check for any open vacume lines

[turbo-da]

check no vac lines

[hatch520]

i would double check timing

[turbo-da]

just look it still looks good have u seen a prob like this ? o and i have skuck2 gears but the at 0

[hatch520]

check your throttle body thes a screw on the top it should be brass make sure it still there and not lose it controls your idle. also check the tention of your throttle cable. is there any thing else you did to it?

[turbo-da]

has 73a pistons

[hatch520]

dit it have those before you swapped cams?

[hatch520]

73a pistons out of what?
did you mean p73a?

[turbo-da]

type r check screw it good

[hatch520]

were they in b4 the cams or at the same time? how does the power feel does it feel hesitant down low or up high?

[turbo-da]

power feels ok rev good hesitant dow low 800 to 2000k rpm

[hatch520]

sound like your timing may be off a little what timing gun you using and what mark r u pointing at?

[turbo-da]

abut to go get my frinds snap on gun what mark is it ?

[turbo-da]

can it b my iacv

[hatch520]

it depends in the gun if it has an advance or not if its has advance you need to line it up with the 3 marks that are together set the gun to 16 degrees advanced and line it up with the middle 1 it should be white. line that line up with the mark on your lower timing belt cover

[turbo-da]

k thnk ill b back with timing light in 1hr or so

[turbo-da]

just drove it has no power at all

[hatch520]

shit man that sucks to bad your not closer i would b able to help you out better try adjustind your dizzy a little so see if that helps

[turbo-da]

i moved the distributo.r if i push it all the way back to the rear of the car it works a little better.

[turbo-da]

i did made a lil better seems like

[hatch520]

good it sounds like your macanical timing is off try and see if you can get that timing light from your friend

[hatch520]

best thing to do is let it cool off and and double check all your marks on the crank,cam sprokets are lining up

[turbo-da]

got light look at marks look like all lining up crank mark lines up with arrow right? what dose it idle at cuz she cant idle

[hatch520]

should be at about 750 rpms

[hatch520]

yeah the arrow on your lower timing belt cover

[turbo-da]

timing gun a 0 it b for the 0 mark put gun to 7 mark is on 0 thats far off 16

[hatch520]

yeah set it to 16 adv and see how for its off and if moving the dizzy fixes it. your dizzy should be right in the middle. if its not your timing belt is off somewhere

[turbo-da]

can u hlp me start from belt cuz it looks marks look a lil off

[hatch520]

those should help

[turbo-da]

thnk

[hatch520]

no problem let me know if you get it figured out

[turbo-da]

timing on but still not idling sounds like miss but sound good at 2k rpms

[hatch520]

try and swap out the dizzy for a known good one see if it improves at all

[Mr.Burner]

Yes swap out the dizy with another one, also did you check your valve lash adjustment after cam install? Not sure if that would effect idle but you should adjust anyway.

What about fuel pressure? You have a gauge and regulator on that thing?

[turbo-da]

did all that but win i unplug the map it idles

[hatch520]

take off your intake hose and cover the hole you see inside your throttle body see if that does any thing

[turbo-da]

wants to die win map unpluged

[hatch520]

did you try what i posted with the map plugged in?

[hatch520]

what intake manifold are you running on this motor?
is it obdo or obd1?
do you have any codes?

[turbo-da]

gsr obd1. it dose not idle

[hatch520]

it dies?

[hatch520]

well next step is take off your IACV and see if it plugged
you can even bypass it by taking it off and cutting a peice of gasket material (the blue one from autozone is the one i use) and putting it between the IACV and the intake manifold make sure you cover both holes and then tighten the bolts back down snug.

[turbo-da]

what is the intake air bypast ?

[hatch520]

iacv is the idle air control valve is on the back of your intake manifold should look like this

remember to do ur valve/lash adjustments wen u install the cams. then follow everything else he says. even off by a tooth will change the action of the motor alot. good luck to u and hope it work out right after everything is done right.

oh shit i didnt click for the last page. didnt kno mr. burner posted it up already.

[fRoSt]

btw. try this! take ur intake and clamps off. screw the idle control screw all the way in, then cover the throttle body as much as u can. if it dies then urs is not a vacuum leak. if it doesnt then u got a leak somewhere in there. if the iacv doesnt work then take ur ficv off and clean it if u do have one.

[turbo-da]

i did do my valve/lash adjustments. i look over the car do i thnk my skuck2 camgear f off? how can i find out i do not have stock cam gears

[hatch520]

they should be both set at zero. what are they set at?
