Does your exhaust have cats? If not, with the list of mods you have, it could just be from that? Do you see alot of black smoke when you give it more than half throttle? How's your AF gauge reading, I noticed you have one and have you checked your plugs? What do they look like?

I have no cats, I notice lil smoke when give it more than half throttle, spark plugs are new & gaped to 0.54" & the fuel gauge shows that the readings above the half by 2 lines. which is some kind of normal.
BTW, I have some idle hunting & surging & stalling issue.

If I still remember with MY OLD CAM E303, the car did the same thing.

This is starting to sound very familiar. Rich exhaust, black plugs, surging idle, bucking while driving, generally running like crap. That's what my car did and it was caused by 9" of vacuum instead of the 15" I was pulling when I got it running right.

If you have all of these problems too you might want to check your vacuum. It's easy to check anyway so it's always a good place I start.

Can you teach me how to check the vacuum ?

You need to go to a parts store or online and get a vacuum tester. It's just a gauge with a rubber hose attached to it that you connect to one of the unused lines coming from the vacuum tree on the firewall. There should be at least one port on the tree without a hose. It should just have a rubber cap on it. Hook the hose up there and start the car and see what it reads and let us know.
