My car dies!!!

[pirotec354]

Ok guys, maybe someone here can help me. I've brought this up on some other forums and havent really gotten too much help.

Soo a few weeks ago i tore my engine down and replaced my head gaskets. While doing this I took my cam out. I degreed it back in correctly. Well after i got it all back together It started having some charging issues and some overheating issues. I also got those fixed.

But, now when im driving down the road it drives fine, has all kinds of power just like it did before. But if i get on it, as soon as i come off the throttle the rpms want to drop to nothing and stall out. It starts back up perfectly. And also if im just cruising and let off the gas but dont push the clutch in, it will kinda sputter when going down through the rpms instead of coming down smooth. It never did this before.

I checked for vacuum leaks and found one, but it wasnt a very big one. Cant seem to find anymore. Im just getting so frustrated with this b/c i just want to drive it.

If anyone has any similar experiences or any ideas, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

- Justin

you might need a retune. with your mods and you changing the degree of the cam. you might ck the tps, ohm it out and make sure there are no flat spots in the movement, and ck the voltage at idle, i think it needs to be.9-1.0vdc

IAC valve might need a good cleaning.

Have you tried removing your neg batt cable and letting it sit off and letting your comp relearn ?

What do you mean by this? Im not sure I understand how it could relearn with the car off.

Disconnecting the battery an a Ford product for 10 to 15 minutes forces the ECU to re-configure itself. Upon re-connection, all trouble codes are cleared and the ECU begins the relearning process over again.

Oh ok, yes this clears the KAM correct (keep all memory).Ive heard before, while in the relearn process that it could experience drivability issues. Is this true? Because this could be my problem, since i did have the battery disconnected many times.

What cam did you install? Did you have it tuned after the cam change?

Its a blower cam, I just took it out to get the part number on it. So its the same cam that was in there before. Its got a superchip in it thats tuned for my setup.
