Alright I have been trying to install MS on my car and having an idle issue.
After scaring myself I went back to stock until I could make some progress.
Today was the first day I really drove it and during the day it seemed fine, tonight however I found an issue...
Randomly (I can not reproduce it I keep trying to) it will suddenly drop to 500 RPM with the clutch in and sometimes die.
I thought it was because I needed to readjust the Idle Air Screw (I had been messing with closing it while working with the MS), so I did and it came back, so I did it again... and it came back again just now.
But after the first time the car would again randomly (I also could not reproduce this which I also tried too) buck and shake refusing to move while in gear but fine out of gear and then it would go away.
I checked the plug wires and one was popped up and clicked back down and while it has not done it again it did die again (This was also at the same time I adjusted the idle air screw for a third time) it never bucked.
I have come across some threads that say common issues are either coil packs or CAS.
I have one more set of coil packs I know works but I would like to OHM test these if I can whats the factory acceptable specs on the coils? (If possible)
As for the CAS, Where is this? I take it as a Crank Angle Sensor? or Cam Angle Sensor? or am I way off?
Hopefully this will point me to the issue I was having with my MS too... or just show me something I hurt while playing with MS.
Thanks!
