Rough Idle
Recently I installed a flex fuel kit and longtube headers (no cats). The car was running fine up after this mods. Last week I installed a ported MSD IM and it was running fine for a few days.
Today I went on a cruise and everything was fine. As I was driving home the car started idling rough on a stop. It sounds as if it had an aftermarket camshaft.
What do you guys think it could be? Can the MSD cause this?

Here is a video.

Did you remember to plug the map sensor in on the intake manifold? I didn't get mine tight once and it idled crappy

All the connections are good. For running e85 it smells pretty bad and my tips are black like if its running rich.

Double check the install for the MSD. Few times I've heard of members here who had similar idle issues with it after a few days because the bolts or something got very loose. Just needs to be re-torqued.

Or it could be the seal: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...SD+idle&page=3

I know you had to fix it but I was kinda digging the idle sounds you had before.
I'm glad you found the problem and it was an easy fix.
