Mine sounds like a bridgeport when the VVT is on at idle, maybe look into that.

Mine sounds like that, or sort of like a subaru when the oil is on real low.

Which is all the time in my car, engine is been overheated at some stage and is now $&#$%, also cam seals are $&#$%. so i lose alot of oil, quickly. grr

thats mean as, just leave it she'll be right. everyone will think u have a rota au'

Unplug the VVT solenoid and see if it fixes it, or pull the VVT solenoid out and clean it out with some carb cleaner. When they are on at idle they are lump hard.

mean overlap causes the ole bridgey idle. Much like a lumpy cammed 4K with the choke on....... haha

Dont let the secret get out of all the bogun 20V owners will be setting them up to idle that way

My guess is if it's running really rich it'd have something to do with vacuum to the map sensor. Check the hose to the sensor and any other related piping, or borrow one to test so you can eliminate that as your trouble
