fluctuating idle and suddenly dies

[maaaaark]

I am freakin having so many problems with my car. my mechanic cant find the reason why my idle fluctuates so often. He told me it was because of the cams. CAMS are stage 1 so theyre not as big as 2's and 3's. I thought stage 1's are like stock but better.

I know that the cams change the idle but not by a significant amount. however, my idle goes high then it goes really low and weak for quite a few times then eventually dies. He adjusted the idle already but it still has the same issue.

what the F is happening to the car, so many freakin problems. I NEED HELP

timing belt on properly

u dialed in the cams properly?
or
clean iacv.
or
scan ur ecu for codes.

Have you got a tune since the new cams installed?

[maaaaark]

yeah it was dynoed , ecu was also chipped

[Alexplicit]

i would start by checking timing, sounds like its way out,

check all obvious things first, such as intake leaks!! ( vacuum leaks )

[trism]

find a new mechanic

[maaaaark]

any mechanics you can offer here on the westside specializing on hondas?

code was a TPS issue

Sounds like a vacuum leak...Check intake manifold gasket, throttle body gasket, all vacuum hoses etc...

could be your spark plugs or spark leads..change them if you have to.

u can check the voltage on the tps, if its fukd then replace it.

wat engine and brand of the cams u installed? those cheapo branded cams have issues.

did it happen after u install the cams or already b4 that?

if u check everything and nothing works i would put back in stock cams. if issue goes away then the issue is on the cams
