Re: Idle problems on 960 940-960 1992

ICQ>

There is a fix that moved the cams slightly to lessen overlap to improve idle.

If your car had that done and then at the time they installed the damper the standard setting fixture was used then your cams were put back into the position that can give a slightly lumpy idle. Lumpy idle=more HP, Smooth idle=less HP but a bit more torque.

95-98 had the high torque, low HP cam configuration (lower lift cams and modified timing).
