Well my car hasnt been running rite for ages, today pulled the rocker cover checked cam timing again everything is spot on The car is running really rich, it idles well just every 30-40seconds the idle on the car just starts hunting the engine is shaking in its mounts it nearly stalls. I dont know anymore i'll be taking it to a shop this week i think. I got a feeling theres a problem with the computer but i dont know what it could possibly be, maybe my car needs a chip even thou others have had this cam with no problems and crow told me it doesnt need a chip. I got the vernier gear last week but havent put it in cos i think the cam is fine its something else. I dont know, i changed the oxy with my old one that didnt help, i will buy a new one this week but i find it hard to believe that will fix the problem

My car was running pig rich and coughing and spluttering and a new oxy sensor fixed the problem. $69 for a new bosche sensor.

Do you have air con???
Is it on or off?? If ON, turn it OFF and see what happens. Could be the compressor kicking in and out. |

joey you cam needs to be dailed in. its needs to be at 2 degrees advanced. not 0 degrees. once you put your vernier on, it should be fine. 2 degrees makes a big difference. also, ur oxy will now be stuffed, and your spark plugs will have fouled.

Get rid of the cam mate, unless you get the thing retuned. My brother had major troubles with his cam, never ran right. Even with an adjustable cam gear it ran like shizzle. Lots of places we spoke to said there was buckleys chance of getting the stage 1 crow cam to work with the standard ecu.

well the cam has been advanced 3 degrees and what can i say, 3rd cyclinder lifter is screaming all off a sudden, idle piked up a little but still it goes into this mode where it dumps a bit of fuel in and idles like a dog, its almost like its on 5cyclinders, im starting to get suspect over the ignition leads they dont clik on anymore bloody top gun crap. I reckon were gonna try 1-2 more degrees advance and see wat happens, if it doesnt work the cam will be in the for sale section

you find that the computer is overfueling to make up for the variances in manifold pressure due to the cam..... witohut a tune she'll always idle like a pig. crow cams claim no ECU needed but thats crap.

if you know what cylinder it is thats not working then you could change the leads around ie: from 1 to 2 or 3 to 4.
Something like that, it will tell you if the miss changers from 1 cylinder to the next that it is the lead. if your cam is like a mild crow then it will play up with the ecu like 2lucid said. |

well im not happy at the moment, im ringing Crow on monday cos they told me it didnt need ecu upgrade/chip and see what they have to have to say bout it. How its running it sounds like the ECU cant handle it.
They told me they had this cam running on their Ute but the ute was On Gas but i didnt click at the time and think 'Gas cars will run with pretty much any cam" so i'll see what they say. IM pretty much over it really the way its looking i'll be selling the car and upgrading (Something i should of done from the start)!. |
