EB 268 Cam: rougher idle?
For anyone that is using the EB 268 cam: are you experiancing a slightly rougher idle?
My 22RTE is running pretty nice(apart from the turbo blowing oil), but my idle is just a little off. I've tried adjusting the timing, and checked for vacuum leaks, but nothing.
It only seems to be rough at idle, as soon as I get on the throttle it quiets down, and pulls pretty nice.

From my emails with Ted, the 268 is supposed to have a nice smooth idle, but the 261 can be a little lopey.
One thing you might check is pull the vac line off the EGR valve and see if it smoothes out. I swear I read somewhere about a guy with a different cam that pulled a little too much vacuum at idle, opening the EGR valve slightly.

Not permanently or anything, but pull the line off the EGR valve itself and plug the hose, otherwise there WILL be a vac leak. Not sure if you have a 22R or RE, but the EGR valve is on the passenger side, at the back corner of the head by the firewall.
In this pic, it's the round thing that's kind of gold colored. In this case it isn't hooked up. On yours, pull the hose off the round metal part and plug the hose end. It's fine to leave the part you pulled it off of unplugged.
