Default There are many many things that can cause our cars to not idle smooth. Cams are not high on that
list lol. Spark plugs, igntion amps, ignition coils, vacuum leak, etc? Sure. But not the cam going bad somehow lol.

Default Pressure testing is for boost leaks. For a vacuum leak, you have to visually inspect and/or smoke
test.
