I dont have to much problems with my 1521a. Idles about the same as my previous cam (1004-110) without a chip.
When you start mucking around with cams, any problems with your engine management that could previously be compensated for by the ECU cause havoc on the tune. I think you will find that there is a sensor somewhere that isnt quite right that is causing the problem.
i'm getting a diagnostic test done wednesday next week at ford... so i'll let you know how it goes.. whether they find any problems and whether it makes it run better!
Hey stock, would you mind clearing some room in your PM inbox, I wanted to send you a PM to pick your brains a little in regards to the 1521a I got a reply to an inquiry I sent to Wade a week or so ago today, and they recommend a 1004 grind cam....

ok guys thanks for that but a new problem!!! ok on tuesday i forgot to mention that the car started stalled and wouldnt start at all. so i left it for an hour came back and the car started fine.
anyway today after i left work i ripped a pretty massive burn out (idiot i know!!!!!!!) it blew alot of smoke (tyres and exhaust) and then she just stalled. tried to start it, it would kick over blow a shit load of smoke and not start. the more i tried to kick it over the less and less smoke it blew. and now i just left it at work and im guna go back in a few hours to try start it.
another thing i did when i changed the cam was change the leads, spark plugs and accelarator cable. I put xr6 spark plugs in it. can any of the above make it do what its doing?? im really confused and sick of the problems im having. please if anyone has any clue on this not starting business it would be greatly appreciated.
if i can get it started im going to take it home and first thing tomorrow morning im going to put the orginial cam back in. i havent nopticed the stalling improve at all over the past week. should i leave it in?? aahhh just as long as the bloody thign starts!!
in most cases the part where it isnt starting at all is to do with the crank angle sensor wich is mounter in place of the dissy. when they warm up the cut out. happens alot with rb30s.
