    Default Stalls on Idiol but drives fine????

    i have a VT 5L that i have just done a bit of work to. i have just put it all back together and now it starts fine, idiols for a minute then dies, kinda up and down while idioling, but powers on fine when throttle is applied and matains a good note. could adjustng the throttle work??
    I have installed a
    Compucam 2030
    Bolt on adjustable Roller Rockers
    New Lifters
    New Leads
    New Plugs
    High Flow Injectors

    Does have a pod filter but i put this on months ago and car worked fine with it.
    also has twin 3" system with 3" Cats and extractors but car worked fine with this also.

    Need help cause i dont wanna take it for a drive and stall at every trafic light

    Aw and i also droped 3 injector caps down the hole pulling them out, but i talked to sum1 and they said that the just break up or get spat out the end, cause this be the problem? would a good run to break them up or spit them out help?

    haha ide remove any injector pintles from inside the engine not just hope they get all munched by the valves and pistons.plus cam and injectors will need a tune to suit they wont just run fine without a tune to suit
    I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
    tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable

    yeah i cant get them out with out taking the valley off, and iv taken it off twice already lol the cam is saposed to be computer freindly, just a straight swap, so id assume that shld be alright, and the injectors im not sure about, the bloke i brought them off said i can swap and it will be fine, but he coulda also been saying that for a sale, i could try swaping to old injectors and see if that helps

    could be your idle speed motor and yeh adjusting your throttle would help but you would need a tune get a green foam

    I had the same problem with my car and it turns out it was the idle air control valve was playing up, you might want to check that out.

    Well i'm getting a new one, we first thought it was the fuel pump, had that replaced but same problem, so everything is pointing towards the IAC.

    I would think that you need a tune to suit the cam/lifter etc.

    Delcowizzid does them, as well as Greenfoam. Delco might be easier to get a hold of....
