Default CO and HC troubble.

My car is an 89 951. Fuel is e85.

Compression is 9:1
New plugs
New oil
Good airfilter
MAF-system should get the car through without at problem.
JME-Cam
Ported head with 48mm Ferrea intakevalves

CO 0.6 (0,5)
C0 2500 0,5 (0,3)

HC 393 (100) <--- !?
Lambda 1.01

I havent timed the cam in after i raised the CR so its about 6 deg advanced right now. But could this really raise the values that high? Is there a good guide to timing in the cam? I have an adjustable camgear.

Plugs seem to be runing a little hot since the tip is "Dusty white" :P Idle is a little rough. I dont seem to have any vacuum leaks. Did a compression test today.

1: 10 bars
2: 10 bars
3: 10.5 bars
4: 10.7 bars

Anyone have anything? Oh. I seem to have water in the exhaust. Could this be tied to my problems? As the engine heats up the water stops coming out though so it seems unlikely...

Try a new o2 sensor. Genuine (~140) or Ford Taurus 3.0 V6 sensor at autozone for 30 bucks. Splice it into the old harness connector.

Replaced the 02 sensor and set the camshaft right. Car still runs like an *** on idle. Have not been able to check the exhaust numbers though. Somehow i think it's still bad. Think i have a small vacuumleak but probably not large enough to cause this problem.

As i said. The idle i rough as hell... No one have any ideas?
