Get everything hooked up and then see how it runs. You may have the timing belt off by a tooth.
Jim Weinheimer [email protected] 85 2.0L 16v GTI 85 Golf >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 >Don ><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> ><HTML><HEAD> ><META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> ><META content="MSHTML 5.50.4134.100" name=GENERATOR> ><STYLE></STYLE> ></HEAD> ><BODY bgColor=#ffffff> ><DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey guys,<BR>I just got my 2.0 running and i have >noticed that after maybe 5 minutes the idle goes to crap .
