I'm back, again, with another problem. I've just finished installing a new set of cam followers, the engine no longer ticks, but now revs far too low, around 600 rpm, and stalls out when the accelerator is pressed lightly. Does anyone have a clue as to what the problem might be?

More info:
It's an automatic, non-turbo, and while it was ticking before, it never had any problems during idle. I thought it might be the timing, but I've gone over that a few times already. Found a cracked vacuum hose, replaced it, but it had no impact on my idle. I've also replaced the distributor cap, rotor, plug wires and coolant. Other fluids are good. Is there a way to manually change the idle revs?

Cheers, and as always, thanks for any help offered.

 

I would check all your vacuum lines because it sounds like you may have missed on.

 

Make sure you have all the sensors plugged back in too.

 

Alright, 2 weeks on and the car seems to have fixed itself. I followed the above advice but found no out of place sensors or broken/leaking vacuum lines. It could be that the engine was simply reving low due to the increased friction and resistance of the new parts, and once these were broken in, the revs returned to normal.

Thanks for all the help. May need some more in a little while though, from one problem to the next with my car, but I'll troubleshoot with it first.

Cheers.
