just bought a gsx, it has top end noise at high idle. having trouble keeping car running. i crank it over and it starts like 2 out 5 times or so, when running it idles at like 400rpms when clutch is engaged, 900 in neutral with clutch disengaged. and it wants to stall. when i drive it, it doesnt make it more than a mile because it revs loud but has very slow acceleration. when i accelerate as rpms reach about 3 or 4k there is a ticking noise that happens and CEL turns on, when i let off the tic goes away and so does CEL. Need help please! new to 4g63t.
 
i adjusted my tps and the rough idle went away, and i replaced the rad cap because it was toast.. also just noticed my timing looks like its off by one notch.
