Well i just got the car and not even a few hours later, started to work on it, so i dont know much about how the car acts but the RPMs are at about 1200 at start up and the move down to about 800 or so at idle. sounds fine to me but i just wanted to see what others had to say, and i dont beat on cars all that much. But does anyone know if somthing should have gone wrong by now, would it have? thanks

if there was something wrong, u would feel it in the wheel. the car will sorta buckle and shake. and idle rpms are good.

Seems Ok. kind of hard tohear real wellfrom the video, but if your timing was off you'd have major issues, so you should be good. Rpm is good too. might want to clean the TB while you're at it, or at least take a look and see if its dirty.

you talking about the TB plate? if so i had done that, does anyone know about the cam angle sensor and if it has to be reset or if it will just go away, because i just changed that part out *it was bad*
well i hope the car is all good to drive now. i have owned the car for two weeks now and it has not moved.

No, just talking about cleaning out the throttle body, it helps the car idle nice and smooth.

You can reset the codes by disconnecting the battery, code will go away.
