problem after cam install
dont bother bro..its your PCV...mine does the same thing nothings wrong dont waste your time...youve never had a cammed car before have you? lol ...not making fun just ask questions before jumping to take your car apart...anyone with cams can tell you that sumtimes the PCV or Pressure Control Valve which is on the top left of the valve cover just behind the oil cap will sumtimes make noise like a clicking rattling type noise
no mine does it and i fixed my idle it only happens to me when it drops really low like when i turn on my defroster or sumthing...and its only for a second...it will only happen like that once u get it tuned...your idle will still be loupy but thats the duration of the cam you cant change that, but it wont be so choppy and it will even the AFRs out alot more too...the clicking goes away like i said mine does it every now and again if i turn on sumthing thats a draw on the motor
once again your idle is rough due to the fact you installed the cams and have not been tuned for them, it jumps around alot cause your running stock ignition timing once its adjusted it will even out

when are you getting it tuned??? After my tune i keep getting p0171... running lean... and it only happens when I turn on the a/c and let the car sit there for like 5 minutes with the a/c on. Then it goes away after a couple of miles... I have the M2 also... Also when I had my cams installed, i didnt get too much iddle problems... the car did not stall or anything. The rpm's where between 800-1000.
Try to get it tuned asap.

im in the process now.... but when my car warms up..and the rpm s are around 1000-1200 the car idles perfect...and then when the idle drops to around 800 it gets rough...lean...a/f jumps around..etc. so im assuming i need to up the idle and i should be fine.

your tuner will fix that problem.... the way my tuner tuned my car, sometimes the when im parking, hitting reverse or giving it a lil bit of gas, my iddle stays stuck between 1200-1500 rpm. My throttle response is very sensitive when I barely tap on the gas.
thing is guys is that its not what you set it too i have my idle set sumwhere around 1100 for 82+ degrees but it ends up at like 980-1040...gotta make sure you set it for your car
wellll i keep throwing the f====== code... po300 random cylinder misifre.... have no idea what is causing it...thinking maybe its my spark plugs....not too sure...
Odd, I dotn get a misfire code only a running lean code of p0171.
If your one tooth off you will get low vac readings as well as an odd idle and possible misfires. Also a loss of power wis evident when this happens. Hopefully you can find your problem.
