Hi.

Bought a new

Stage 2 camshaft from RPW Australia and replaced the stage one I had.

Now I have run into a problem.

I

have changed my camshaft today with a stage 2 camshaft.

When I picked up the car everything was ok and the RPM

were going nice up to 7500 RPM and pulling ok. I drove the car a little to let the engine warm up and then I pushed it

a little , everything was ok.

Then I stopped the engine and parked. After a few minutes I tried to start the

engine again and the starter was sounding like it has difficulties on turning the engine..... I accelerated and the

RPM went up to 4500 then the CHECK ENGINE lamp started to light and the engine stopped even if I was keeping the pedal

down. Tried again ,same thing , pushed it up to 4500 and then the air was cut and the engine stopped.

I took

out the battery and left it without power for 5 minutes , put the power on again and started the engine. I let the

engine run for 4 minutes so it will auto adjust the ignition and when I started driving it went up to 5500 and from

there does not want to go anymore.
It is like it has no power ! Does not want to pull anymore !
Like the car

has 50-60HP.

If I let the car in free gear and keep the accelerator down , the RPM will go up to 5500 and then

drop by itself to 3000-4000 and then up again to 5500 and then again down....up and down all the time even with the

pedal full pressed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Til alle andre:

Husk, at Viper godt kan læse og

forstå dansk! - Så I kan godt hjælpe på dansk!

Jeg tror umiddelbart, at det er din motorstyring som den er gal

med! - Skal sådan en ikke "ændres" hvis man sætter en anden kanstaksel i?

Umiddelbart vil jeg sige at det tyder på at tandremmen

har været for
slap og er takket en tand eller to over !!!
Det ville jeg ihvertfald tjekke først. Hvis det er

problemet så pas
f..... på for smutter den en takke mere så er det formentlig slut.
Hører vi ikke lige hvordan

det går.
Iøvrigt tror jeg WM har ret i at blandingen kan være forkert.
Men jeg tror det vil gi udslag i en for

mager blanding som på
langt sigt kan være skadelig/maxeffekt.

Får vi en version 2 af historien

Hej,

Jeg har prøvet

at svare på dit indlæg på RPW forumet, men vidste ikke det var dit indlæg så kan jeg nok uddybe svaret nu når jeg kan

skrive på dansk

* Først har du husket at skifte ventilfjedre til stage 2 fjedre eller højere evt. titanium

fjedre:?:
Hvis ikke er det sandsynligvis dit problem ventilerne kan simpelthen ikke nå at lukke med standard

fjedre da løftet fra knasten bliver alt for højt.
Så ved høje omdr. vil din knasthjuls timing være helt ved siden

af i forhold til åbningstiderne for de enkelte ventiler.

* Har du fået justeret ventilerne Hvis ikke kan det

skyldes at ventilspillerummet er for lille ved det højereløft og ventilerne simpelthen er for stramme og ikke kan åbne

helt ved max rpm.
Jeg ved at når du montere en RPW stage 2 knast vil samtlige af dine vippearme sidde stramt uden

noget spillerum og så har du et problem.

* Har du fået justeret tændingen Når man skifter knastaskslen(cam)

så afmontere man jo strømfordelleren, hvis denne ikke er justeret ind ved genmonteringen kan du løbe ind i problemer

med for tildlig omdr. begr. eller tændingsbanken hvis du er uheldig.
Hvis strømfordeleren sidder forkert kan du

rissikere at gå i redline v. 4000 rpm.

* Tjek din takthjuls markering hvis tandremmen har forskudt sig under

monteringen kan det også give de problemer du skriver.

Men jeg tror det er noget tænding som ikke helt virker

optimalt da din chek engine lampe jo lyser.

Men skriv endelig så skal jeg nok prøve at være så behjælpelig som

muligt.

Hi Johhny.

Do you have a phone numbert where I

can call you ???
Mine is 24666210 and I usually go to sleep at 1AM or so So please feel free to call

me..

Well , it was not me who changed the camshaft and more strange is that it damn worked when I picked up the

car. The problem fist came when I stopped the engine and then turn it back on after 2 minutes.

The point and

the stripe on the timing belt are fitting just fine.

I have also changed the springs for the

valves.

Monday morning I have to drive to France and is not funny.
Question is ... if I put back the old

camshaft will it solve the problem ????

There is no distribution block on the engine so I can't adjust the

timing on the ignition Or maybe there is one that I do not know about ?

What should be the distance that I

have to adjust the camshaft to ???

The big problem is that I can not get in touch with the guy who changed the

camshaft as I do not have his phone number..... so I do not know what he adjusted and what not

Tomorrow I

will have the valves adjusted ... do you guys think it will help ?
I juts need some fix so I can drive to

France...

The car it pulls now like an 83' 1.1 polo
No power , no spin ... like dead one...

Lancerlot , could you mail me your phone number or

give me a call or SMS me ???
