So this weekend I put a new head on my 87 crx si. I also put a nice performance cam in there from delta cams. I did everything to spec and nothing is leaking at all, but the thing has a bouncing idle and acts like it wants to die when just sitting. It performs great when i put power to it but im stuck on this issue. Im thinking its the idle control sensor is bad but I cant find the darn thing on the car or in my book. Any ideas. The timing is in advance to but it acts like the timing is overly retarded. I double checked the valve lash and the positions of the cam lobes at top dead center and all is good there too. Im totaly lost. Thanks in a dvance for any help.

It looks like the timing is still too far down. It knocks while sputtering. This is drivin me crazy. I wont have a timing light until tomarrow. Is overly retardrd timing something thats gonna kill my motor? I dont even want to drive the thing until i get a light but i have to go to work.

Try turning the distributor towards the front of the car.. If that doesn't help, then it might be more than your timing.

It was off 19 degrees, had to adjust the cam pulley. I advanced the timing and the car idles much better. I had to adjust the idle adjustment screw as well. It definatly needs a good tuning by a pro though so I made an appointment for monday morning. It runs way better now though. Thanks for the help.
