The crane 12 cams which are getting harder to find are 246 on both intake and exhaust. The crower 2 cams are 241, and Brian crowers stage 2 are 268. Crower cams keep a low duration but have the largest lift. The stock exhaust duration is 220 or something like that. I don’t see any info on...

Most people talk about the megasquirt but they do make an aem standalone. It’s probably the one I’ll end up buying

So what would the typical cost be for that? I know they would dyno the car after but I don’t even know what they would be able to do computer wise

Has anyone gotten their cams degreed? How much did it cost? Did you have to take your engine out of your car to do it?

Ya it was my daily before all the issues. After I get it sorted out I’ll start using it as my main car again. I didn’t know BC made cam gears for the 420a

The issue isn’t whether I could tune it or not. The issue is not knowing what the issue necessarily was. If something was bad then it wouldn’t make sense to try to tune it. But now I’m just trying to see if I can get a simple fix by getting into my ecu and making my engine code inactive or if I...

So I found something online about people that get the P0300 code after a cam swap and people that have stalling issues after a cam swap. It seem that with the aftermarket cams they can sometimes freak the computer into thinking something is wrong so they kick the misfire codes and depending on...

I wasn’t able to mess with it much due to the holidays. But I ended up buying another tps sensor and another cam sensor just in case one of them was a dud and I just replaced my battery again today because it went bad from all the sitting it’s done. I’m getting the same problems. But I’m...

It’s a manual

I checked the cat a few months ago just before I put the cams in. I was running a test pipe and put the cat back on when I changed my muffler

My alternator pushes between 13.7-14.05 volts.

Standard ignition. My problem might be that I’m buying all my sensors online. I’m gonna swap out the gaskets in the new sensor with my old sensor and put my old sensor back in and check it. But I think I’ll probably get a new cam sensor from O’Reillys or something and see if I might’ve bought a...

No the battery is only about 3 months old. I didn’t close my door all the way so my light stayed on the whole night. But after installing my new TPS I started the car and it idled hella rough and surged like crazy. After I disconnected and reconnected the wires it mellowed out but I would stay...

What the video doesn’t show is the engine randomly bouncing every few seconds. I figure it’s due to the misfires. But otherwise it sounds like it’s running fine. Anyway, I just got my new TPS and I noticed it came with an O-ring and a paper gasket. My old sensor was missing the paper gasket. So...

This is how my car runs at idle. When I’m revving or driving it sounds and feels normal. But at idle it looks kinda broken up

My compression test came back 175, 175, 175, 185. So I guess I can rule out my engine?

I left the head on the block when I did my cams

I haven’t done any deletes on my car so I still have the egr and the pcv valve on the car. But I’ve replaced both already and I’ve replaced the hoses from the plastic brittle hoses to a larger rubber hose. And I’ve done the wd40 leak test on all my stuff to see if there are any leaks and I...

I’ve been reading online about symptoms for bad TPS sensors and sometimes they kick codes for misfires instead of the TPS. And my idle is usually ok but it bounces about 200 rpm up and down and I get small idle surges here and there. When my car starts to act like it wants to stall it will drop...

Replaced the throttle body and the idle sensor and still have the same problem. At this point the only sensor in my car that isn’t brand new is my throttle position sensor. And I looked online and saw that a failing TPS can cause stalling at idle and misfires. So I’m gonna order a new TPS when I...

They are pretty negative. I posted a pic a few comments back that showed my car at idle

Definitely getting a new gasket. I never reuse gaskets

I’m just gonna get a throttle body tomorrow from the junkyard. I’ve been meaning to do it and I’m gonna be taking my old throttle body out tonight anyway

I believe the sprocket is stock. I know the harmonic balancer is new because I bought it a few months ago. The iac I have is also only a year old but it’s only held on with one bolt and some gasket maker because one of the bolts broke off and I couldn’t manage to get it back out

So other than getting a megasqirt or something what else can I do?

Ya that’s what is so frustrating. Everything seems to be working fine except for the spark advancement. My car runs fine and everything but the spark advancement is weird and I keep getting the p0300. I’m gonna buy another IAC to see if it helps with my stalling at stops but I don’t know what to...

So this is my live data after replacing that sensor and installing an msd coil

Ya I’ve tried both. It always comes up with a random misfire in all 4 cylinders. Do you think a performance ignition coil and wires would make a difference or not?

The plugs are ngk coppers gapped at .045. The scan tool is a Cen-Tech scan tool

Ok so I looked into the timing again... I matched it up to all the examples I could find online and on this forum and my timing is good. I checked every way I could think of and even used a screwdriver in the cylinder to see if the piston was in the right spot when my cams lined up just in case...

My timing was all tight the other day when I went out to check it but I rotated the crankshaft about 3 teeth to the left to check the marks on the cams. And then the next day there was hella slack in the space between the cams and my intake came was turned slightly clockwise

Actually I do have a question. If I rotate the crankshaft counter clockwise instead of clockwise would that cause the loss in tension in my camshafts?

Okay so I tinkered with the car a little today. When I went out to my car I opened the hood and found my intake cam was sagging a half a tooth inward and there was no tension on top of the cams. I think I might just be a half a tooth off on both cams. It’s either that or the tensioner I just...

I also called Brian crower and they said the stock cam pickup is all I need

I’ve replaced the cam position sensor and the crank position sensor

The pickup I have in there is the old one. I don’t know where to go to find a new pickup for the camshaft position sensor

I’m not talking about the sensor. I’m talking about the pickup on the inside of the sensor that is attached to the camshaft

I haven’t been doing too much with it. I did take my valve cover off and checked my timing one mire time. All the marks line up perfectly and even the dowel holes on the cams are both lined straight up so I know it’s not timing. I know it isn’t fuel because I’m running rich. Idk how to verify if...

Also I just tested the resistance of my brand new coil pack. It’s at 4.4 ohms for the primary coils. Isn’t it supposed to be less than 1 ohm?

Most of the parts were old and worn out anyway so I replaced them. I’ve reset the code and pulled the battery cable already. I even replaced the battery terminals to make sure there was a strong connection. I can post some pictures tomorrow of my live data

Ya the crankshaft position sensor

Ya I’ve also replaced the fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator and the crankshaft sensor

No I haven’t done a compression test yet

I just don’t understand why though. These are the most popular cams for these cars and I’ve even replaced the camshaft sensor. Although I did notice oil in between the sensor and the pickup. Is that normal?

I’ve replaced everything on the list except for my ecu

I know my ecu is trying to cut fuel. It’s been running at around -20 for my long term fuel trim at idle and my spark advance switches between advancing and retarding. It doesn’t retard much but every 15 seconds or so it’ll go about -1.8g

Ya I replaced the cams and the springs but the pistons and everything are stock

I thought you couldn’t tune the stock ecu at all?

I have stock cam gears and a stock ecu. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to buy a mega squirt just for the cams. How do I play with the OBDII?

Has anyone had any issues with a p0300 code after installing the Brian crower stage 2 cams? I’ve replaced everything but the ECM and it just won’t go away. I also have an issue with my car stalling when I go to a stop. It’s not all the time, but it’s almost like it chokes but I’ve replaced the...
