I had a problem with the setting of the mini-me. When I place the cam on the bottom mark, crank on white mark, the engine "shakes" like hell and the idle is erratic. I advanced the cam one tooth, the engine is more steady but the idle "jumps" from 500 @ 1k rpm back and forth in the morning.When the engine heats on normal range, the rpms moves between 600 @ 900 and it's very slow when initiating march. If I retard the cam, the engine doesn't start.

Can anyone please help me. I'm starting to regret the mini-me conversion

The setting of my car is the following:
B7 intake with fuel rail, injectors, fuel reg, TB
Z6 head
Z6 timing belt (tensioner sounds like scrapping metals)
AEM Cam Sprocket
AEM CAI one piece
MSD wires, dizzy cap and Blaster II coil
Bosch 4419 plugs (4 sparks) note: use denso 2 sparks, burned to hell
Field's SFC-Vtec Controller, currently off due to the idle problem, only 157 miles per gas tank
93 Exxon Gas with STP gas treatment on every gas fill
Obiously, B7 bottom
S40 civic 96 tranny

 

i had the same problem . but i readjusted the valves and retightened intake and prob went away.

 

I made that on Saturday and the car runs superb....!!!:naughty:
