does it sound like its struggling to idle? Maybe your fuel mixture is messed up. Does it ever kill?

8urvet 06-05-2004 05:23 PM

no it doesnt kill but after i drive it then shut it off then try to start it back up right away i have to give it gas

when your "giving it gas" are you putting the pedal to the floor?

My last motor sounded like a v8 with a cam at idle. Boost guage bounced at idle like it had a large streetport. It was broken apex seals. I guess I should have asked you if the motor is heavily ported?

8urvet 06-05-2004 08:51 PM

no its not ported at all
