I just had my new cam installed today and now when I come to a stop the idle drops and rises between 700 and 1000 rpms and sometimes will eventually die, when I first start it up it has no problem Its only after ive been running it for a bit. Is there just a simple adjustment to be made, or is it possibly a problem with a sensor. The check engine light did not come on so I figured maybe its not a sensor.

Welcome to the world of a cammed 5.0...A tune will help also there is other products you can purchase that help control the idle on a cammed efi 5.0....Just search the net and you will find the parts and anwsers you need..

How much did the install cost you?

Black Snake

Yeah, you need to up the Fuel pressure and timing a bit to fix it.

5.0 + Cam = World of tunning.

About $1095, but I also had a huge list of other things done, lol I dont really remember the breakdown, I left the paperwork at work by mistake.

The engine seems to be in time, when I give it any gas it runs like a champ, its only at idle that it does this, but ill look into it. But for now is this going to be a huge issue that can potentially hurt my engine, or can I go a couple of weeks?

Eh, it's a vacuum leak. Make sure all your vacuum fittings on your intake are nice and tight, with teflon and what not. In the meantime, turn your idle up a couple hundred RPMS.

what is your idle set at? the E cam likes the idle about 950

Ya have a SN95 dude! The stock computers don't like cam changes and can't wrap their programming around it......its time to get a custom chip! There is LOADS of people with that had the same problem as you with the SN-95s as well the stock programing ROBS power at the upper rpm's by automaticly retarding the timing.
