Get everything hooked up and then see how it runs. You may have the timing
belt off by a tooth.

>Hey guys,
>I just got my 2.0 running and i have noticed that after maybe 5 minutes the
idle goes to crap . I have tested the o2 sensor and it isn't putting out a
signal. What's weird is it idles great for the first little bit then
deteriorates, I'm think when the ECU switches from open or closed loop it
stops running off the ECU default. Does this sound possible? Also the
throttle response is really bad and I have to advance the daylights out of
the timing. Is it possible the intercam timing is off? it looks good and the
head was just completely rebuilt by European Motor Works, but I installed
the cams(stock ones). I also don't have the block breather hose on yet or
the small hoses connected to the breather hose or the airbox. Please make
some suggestions for the poor throttle response, it really concerns me.
>TIA
