I recently had a mechanic replace my pushrod tube seals and adjust the valves. Now the car seems a bit more difficult to start (it already was due to the PO MegaSquirt setting), and it idles rough as soon as I start it. It almost wants to die unless I give it some gas, but after I get up the street a bit, it seems to idle smoothly at about 1500 RPMS. The mechanic mentioned that my valves were way loose.
Do this problem sound like he may have overtightened them, the valves? He is a fairly popular aircooled guy here in town, but I dont know how many 914s he works on and I know the settings are a big different for the 2.0 than the other 914s. Any other factor that could affect my idle at startup? Thanks |

I agree with James. Valves were wrong before or wrong now, and the ms needs to re tuned.
