Numerous components are not adjusted properly BECAUSE the motor will not idle hardly below 1000 rpm. Even when setting the timing it does not idle well.

I come from building small black chevy motors. The cam will HAVE The largest influence.

It had a freer flowing exhaust then it does now, AND a custom intake that was freer flowing.

That leaves the cam.

It is a valid title.


It wasn't an attack on you, personally, but I stand behind the title being misleading. You changed a lot and haven't adjusted other things that do affect the idle issue (TPS being a major contributor), but you believe it's the cam. Ted builds good stuff, and as already mentioned, the Toyota EFI system is VERY lenient when it comes to cam swaps. I've done a number myself with nary the problem you mention. The intake mods could easily cause this problem as well; the point being, the entire picture needs to be considered, not just the cam.
