Running rough after valve adjustment

Hey all.
When I finishe the valve adjustment and put it all back together and started it, the car is now idling rough. It almost seems as if it's misfiring or something. Idle is normal but the sound is very deep an almost "CAM'D" (sp).
Any suggestions?
I also reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery didn't know if that would help any.
Thanks in advance.

I have done adjustments on B and D series many-o- times but was extra careful on this one and looked up a forum on here on how to do it on the S. I followed it to the T but now am stumped!!!![frown.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

Did you make sure the engine was cold when you did the adjustment? The idle relearn procedure basically involves holding the throttle at 3K RPM until the thermostat opens (cooling fans turn on) with all of your climate controls off.

If it's idling THAT bad...then no offense, something's jacked up with your adjustment if it was running fine before the adjustment took place. Just curious, what values did you use for each side when doing the adjustment?
