Hey guys. We (Ray Kawski and I) FINALLY got the JWT s4 cams in my '98 SE today. They feel great and although I haven't gotten "on it" much to allow a nice 100 mile break-in, I can definately feel alot of power there.
One problem though. The idle SUCKS.
The car is consistently idling at like 600rpms. With the cams and the ES mounts that I have also, it makes the car shake like hell.
My problem is, I can't seem to adjust the idle higher. I didn't exactly follow the method on SE-R.net though.
I ran the car to warm temps, and disconnected the TPS. The idle DOES shoot up like to about 1100-1200 rpms once I disconnect the TPS, but the second I re-connect it it drops down to 600rpms again.
I can turn the idle screw up or down with the TPS connected or even disconnected and the idle will not change. It will stay the same. Any suggestions?
I don't know if this matters, but my timing is still @ 19 degrees, and I know that 15 degrees is recommended with the cams. Any help would be GREAT. Thanks.
