- Mon Apr 06, 2009 3:50 pm #108614 im not supermech, but sounds like it ent firing right and maybe ur exhast manifold is leaking but i dought that would cause it to fire like that, what tests have u done so far

- Mon Apr 06, 2009 8:49 pm #108675 it sounds like staged cams to me but not sure

- Tue Apr 07, 2009 7:06 pm #108899 well i just looked at my headers and i noticed that the bolts that hold the header with the down pipe
that one is missing so im guessing thats what causin it to be loud

i have not done any test on it yet
it has the check engine light on

and yes my car does have different cam gears
it has some VENOM cam gears
idk if the cams are also VENOM
or stock how can i chek

- Wed Apr 08, 2009 3:52 am #109044 take the cams out and measure the lobes with a micrometer or dial indicator.

there could POSSIBLY be a stamp on the camshaft.

- Wed Apr 08, 2009 2:18 pm #109133 i'd say get a wiring diagram, make sure that the wires from the dizzy to the plugs are in the right order and check/reset the timing. tighten that bolt on the header and see if doing the above changes anything.... also knowing what code your CEL is throwing would be a help too..

seems like it idles funny and high, especially after you give it a little fuel.. i'd check vacuum lines too..
