[QUOTE="PHILLY_SVT, post: 15974307, member: 192549"] Just bought a 98 cobra (there is a recent post about purchase). I knew the car had some motor work required but it wasn't blowing smoke, knocking, and I didn't hear any tapping or metal sounds when I saw the car so I felt the engine was good except for some "tweaking". [b]The car won't idle and there is no throttle response after about 3000 RPM. [/b] The car did have the IMRC valves zip tied so I know this isn't the issue (i think). Once I got the car back to my home I replaced the spark plugs, wires, and cleaned the MAF. I was hoping for some improvements but I did not get much. Only think is that I didn't smell the fuel out the exhaust anymore. I plugged my neighbors scanner and ran the car. At a 22% throttle position, it was showing 25-32 degrees in advance timing. Could this be the cause for the rough/no idle and no power? What would be my next steps to confirm or fix? Any help would be great! [/QUOTE]
