Default Idle Surge????? Please Help

I bought a notch today with a 306 and a f series cam. For some reason when it warms up and i shut it off and start it back up It has idle surge real bad. Then drive it for a second and it quits. If its cold it wont do it.

i would check the air idler, it can do weird things when its cloged up...let me knowwhat you find...spray some throttle body cleaner in it and see if it helps it out..

Does it have an aftermarket MAF (mass airflow sensor) and larger injectors? Does it have a chip tune to compensate for these mods? If not, there's your problem. Aftermarket MAF's are notorious for idle and hot start problems.

im gonna say if everythng is in working order(iac, etc) its the cam... that cam isnt small... i dont have the specs on it in front of me but the intake and exhaust duration are up there, and the overlap isnt small either...

like i said... if thats the only problem your having, call yourself lucky, and dont stress about it
