My car dies when I put it into drive or reverse or sitting at a stop for a while after it warms up, I have to keep the rpms at about 900 other wise it chugs once or twice and eventually dies. I have the e303 cam w/ a 2400 converter, would that be causing it to do that? I was prob. going to get a bigger stall next year anyways (like a 3200).

set the idle higher , its a tradeoff

^ +1 what is your idle set at? set it at around 600 or so.

Mine did the same thing after I did the HCI swap. I was just posting about it in another topic of C&L tubes. What mass air meter do you have? I have the 76MM mass air meter and I think that's causing the crappy idle and the car to die. When I come to a stop the idle surges up and down for a while until it settles in but if I have to stop hard or fast the idle dives and the car stalls every damn time!!

Same thing mine does, sept mine dies.

It is higher, at about 900-1000
