302 ho need help

I've got an 88 bronco W/ a motorsport 302 ho. Its got world product windsor jr. heads, headers,maf conversion MSD ign. roller rockers and a E-303 cam. Ever since the cam has been installed i've had idle issues. I've been to other forums and have heard others having the same prob W/ no solutions. I have even tried adv. cam timing W/ no luck. Any feed back on this cam? Does the PCM reject this cam? Need help getting frustrated !

Lopes and chugs and stuff ??? Reaaally informative. The mustang guys have the answer. If anyone is interested the throttle body has to be drilled and the tps adjusted.

...I've had idle issues??? Reaaally informative.

Nothing says "I have no desire to actually fix the problem in a way that doesn't create other issues" like drilling holes in throttle plates.

yeah, Conanski, while I don't agree with everything he says, has helped more punks than he should. You can not cam a fuel injected like carb, they usually need relative wide lobe seperation angles for increased vac and idle quality.

Thanks lew52 for the feed back. I already set my cam timing @ 2 degrees adv. and drilled the TB butterflies out to 11/64. Amazing difference at idle. Much more power at all rpm especially down low.

You'd probably be better off running the cam straight up and advancing ignition timing to ~14 degrees, but as long as it works no worries. You might try dialing in more timing anyway.

What rpm is it idling with the holes in the throttle plates, just out of curiosity?

Idle is @ about 1200 rpm still have to tweak ign timing and idle speed. After that I will start doing test and tune. Will post after that
