70993, CEL's after tuning cam gears...11, 25
Posted by REV_GSlow, Mar-19-04 03:33 AM
Jeez, it just keeps getting worse and worse. I put my exhaust cam to -2.5 and intake to 0 and now im throwing the codes 11, 25..cam/crank sensor and target idle not reached. The idle is very lopey now and sits at about 800 rpms..what did i do wrong?

Target idle is 750rpm I believe. I'd say if you got the rpms to settle down a bit more at idle you'd be golden on that one. :shrug It can also trip that code if the car "hunts" for idle, which it may be doing when it lopes. :P Good luck sir.

should i be loping after tuning the cams? Also, what about the cam/crank sensor cel? The car drives great, misses a little at 70mph but i guess thats normal.

just wondering, you do know that each mark on the cam gear is like 2 degrees of rotation???
and what cams you runnin, stock,etc..

if your all good then just give the ECU some time to adjust to the changes (reset it a couple times), do you have a datalogger??

im running stock cams, but my head is milled .050. Yes i know that its 2 degrees per mark, 2.5-3 should put me back to stock. So i should reset the computer after messing with the cam gears?? i didnt know that at all!

Put thje exhaust cam back to 0. that is why your car runs like shit - you've taken the injector timing out of whack.

Yeah but you need to find zero, you don't know for sure where it is. You are outside the 3 degree window the ECU give you before the CEL is triggered. Get the exhaust cam to stock placement and play only with the intake cam.

so once the exhaust cam is set to stock the cel will go away? Should i try -2 or even -1 for exhaust??
