Re: List, Please Help! Bad Idle + low Vac since euro cam.

Okay, coming from a guy completely unqualified to make this statement. But isn't your air fuel mixture supposed to between 5-6 and your timing 6 degrees...Again I might be way off. The Euro cam should be the same on both the 1.8 and 2.0.

Subject: List, Please Help! Bad Idle + low Vac since euro cam.

List,
 
    The other day I had a Lightened Flywheel and euro cam installed in my 1.8 16v.
* This is what is in my car:
- Power Module
- Euro cam
- Lightened Fly
- K&N Air filter
 
    Since I've brought it home... I've experienced very poor starts w/stalling, fluctuating idle, and Lots of engine vibration.
    At higher rpm's the car runs great!
 
*Here are the facts about my car:
 
    - Vacuum - 10 -11 lbs
    - Timing - 15 degrees
    - Air/fuel mixture - 9- 10 mil
 
--------------------------------------
I know the Vacuum should be 20lbs. What would cause such a drop in pressure? (Air boot is fine)
 
    I disconnected the air stabilizer and that helped a little but I need to find out what is wrong.
Also checked injector O rings and they are fine.
 
Thanks,
Dan Kraus :-)
p.s. a 1.8 Euro cam is the same as a 2.0 correct?
