i jst recently upgraded my cams retainers springs and turbo, and i jst can't get the car to idle rite i have done every thing checked the timing (2nd mark from the right) checked the crank angle sensor raises the idle but nothin helps the car keeps stalling i am wondering if it could be my mass air flow sensor, cause i still have the one from my ka. i really need some help with this, any ideas or opinions would help thanx

If your car wasn't idling, how'd you check your timing accurately? Just adjust the idle air control valve on the intake manifold. It's the screw between cyl 2 & 3.

Might be your pushing too much power for your KA MAFS....or it could be fried as well..It seems whenever someone posts about idling problems or rev problems, it usually ends up being something with their MAFS about a good 75% of the time. I would definately look there..
