Idle question
I just switched to 1.6 rockers, now im having a idle problem, the car dies when idleing, is this normal to have to readjust the idle after a rocker change or did i miss somthing? I havent started my car when cold so i dont know if this is a problem that pertains only to hot starts, but any feedback would be great. thanks

Ok, went over all vac. lines this morning, found nothing, also rechecked with carb ceaner, and still nothing. So i readjusted the idle slightly and now the car is running great, no stalling, and no problems with cold starts.

Are you sure all the rockers are adjusted properly? I can't really see how changing the rockers would mess with the idle unless they weren't adjusted right and maybe not opening enough to let the engine breathe enough to run, but I doubt thats it.
