    idle tuning, how to in idiot terms?

    Just installed my cam but car doesn't want to idle. How do I raise Idle? I'm still using 1.5 about to download 1.6, but how to raise idle speed? I bumped up everything by 100 in the idle rpmvs temp or whatever and didn't change ANYTHING. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

    I found this link seems easy enough. How easy is the idle tuning in 1.6? I haven't messed with it yet.

    Re: idle tuning, how to in idiot terms?

    hey everyone. I got some tuning done exactly as above link stated, and car idles fine. However, when I put it in drive or reverse, car stalls. If I put it in neutral or park car idles fine. If I put it in reverse/drive, and push on gas car will keep running, and I can drive. Any thoughts? What do I check/what should I modify.

    anyone? Car is kind of annoying to drive having to hold one foot on brakes one on gas.
