hey guys,
i basically finished up my explorer motor swap and am now able to drive my car. i put in a new valeo clutch ( i think thatis a king cobra) and new flywheel from advanced auto. now the car bucks at low rpm's and decelerating when i get below 2,000 rpms. i have to keep the car around 2,000 rpms when cruising or it bucks. if i fall below 2,000 the car will buck a little untill i apply more pressure to the throttle. i used to be able to drive in 4th gear in a 35 mph zone and have no issues. now i need to have it in 3rd. the same goes for a 25 mph zone. i used to be in 3rd but now need to be in 2nd. again, at higher rpm's it is fine and the bucking stop if i put it in netural or if i give it more gas.
the car now has a b303 cam and i tried setting the timing to 12 (when i put the timing light on it it bounced a round a little but the 12 marker was right by tht needle).
do i just need to break in the clutch? i have less than 100 miles on it, probably less than 75? could the cam be causing this? i did convert the car to MAF. Or do i just need to be cruising at a higher rpm?
any help will be greatly aprciated.
Thanks!
