Shout out to Exotic-Metal...Thanks brooke

I've been having an issue with an idle vibration on my car and I was considering that the cam sensor may be bad.

I've been throwing some parts at the car, which gets expensive after a while.

Brooke had some used ones floating around and sent one to me at no charge for the part and wouldn't accept any funds for the shipping.

Its really the people that make this place great, so thanks so much Brooke.

Owe you a beer if you are ever in NJ.

Thanks for the kind mention and hope the sensor fixed your problem. Did you get code or have a chance to read the code with the rough idle?

Brooke's been helping me out now for some time and I can't thank him enough for his advice and expertise. I've only had the pleasure of meeting him once and that was recently. I hope he was able to help you sort out your issues.

Have you tried to clean the injectors, 2 cans of techron in a half tank of gas then drive until below 1/4 then refill with good quality premium fuel. What is the mileage on the car and have you ever done a clean procedure on the injectors?

there are no codes, which makes it that bit more difficult. the lack of decent indies with star around me doesn't help.

nice 5 min install. car seems to have better acceleration, but the idle vibe is still there sadly.

thanks again!

I hate to see you keep changing parts out but have you put new plugs in yet? Although MB says they are 100K plugs, once we mod these engines, plugs and other wearables don`t last as long. Check all your coil connectors too, as sometimes the clips get brittle and you can get a loose connection but NO codes is always a good thing.
