mine does. even when it was untuned it would idle cold. don't get me wrong it would surge for a bit, then settle down. with the car tuned, when it starts, it idles at about 1300 & drops to 900 rpm after about a minute.

I have had a ms4 in both of my cars and I had 2 a 233/239 before I put the ms4 in my car now and I love the ms4 after comparing I took it down to 45-50 in sixth gear and it didn't jump forward at all it idles better than the other cam and I got 24.4X mpg driving from bakersfield to LA car does great dd I couldn't be happier with a smaller
cam and it drives smooth(besides the choppy idle, but still isn't that bad)

you need to get one from a reputable tuner. Research carefully so you can get it done right the first time.
