I am on my way out to re-time the IP...I have to check my notes when I get out there to see where (btdc/atdc) I timed it originally ...
The pump never came off when I rebuilt the motor, so I had hoped that it would be close.
gsxr: Sorry to thread jump... The timimg was off before, but I fixed that. The cam was actually off by 180*. Turns out that the crank turns twice for every one turn of the cam so I flipped the cam...
My fears for the IP are that when the engine ran out of oil, the IP was starved for oil and the control rod (or something) is sticking now.
What really bakes my muffin is the fact that pulling the sensor/idle control wires off I see improvement
Will try to re-time...if that doesn't fix it I guess I'll have to pull the pump and get it looked at.....
Thanks guys!
