I finally got my car on the road and have been having a ball with it.
Here is my dilema though. The car is an 87 and it a has a 42/82 cam in it. The only way I can get it to idle is to set it at around 1500. Anything less than that and it will stall out. It also has to be fully warmed before it will even consider idling and rarely restarts without purging the fuel system by pulling the dual relay and cranking it over.
Has anyone here had any experience getting a cam this hot to run halfway decent with FI. I am considering putting in a toggle switch into the dualrelay circut so I can shut the fuel down before I shut off the car. At least then it will restart when I want it to.
The car pulls well in second up to about 6k third to around 5k. The low end torque is nothing to write home about but it's been so long since I have driven an X that I don't have anything to reference.
Any tips or suggestions on getting this to idle better and hotstart would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob.
