Hi all, for the past couple of months i've had a cel for my cas. Recently it started to get bad with the car breaking up and hesitating under wot. I replaced the broken cas with a new cas from rockauto. I set the motor to where the cam angle marks lined up, installed cas, grounded, and set base timing to 5btdc using an adjustable timing light. I then started the car and noticed that it idles higher at 2k rpm and then goes to 1k once it's at operating temperature. The car used to start at 1500 rpm and drop to 850-1000rpm after a minute or 2 with the broken cas. When driving, the boost isn't hitting as hard (it's more linear vs when it hit hard with the older cas) and it's taking longer to come into boost (15-16psi at 5k vs around 35-38 w/older cas). The car is also hesitating high in the rpm's. I thought maybe it's a boost leak from the throttle body so i replaced the gaskets and torqued to spec and still the same problems. What do you guys think is going on?
