car not starting ive just finished a cam swap and am getting fuel and spark. also it is fireing but no enough to idle. i can tell because the header tubes ar ewarm and the popping that happens when i try to start it. im am completely stumped and have no clue wht it could be.
does the motor start to turn over and then die? or does it just not run at all?
how big of a cam did you do? ever think of the desired airflow after the cam install? you might need a bigger hole in the throttle blade or to crack the throttle open some, could be suffocating her.
