Hey guys. Just did my first cam follower replacement. Followed the DIY guide and everything went smoothy. After putting everything back together and priming the car I started the engine. The RPMs are dipping and the entire car is vibrating and making a sound like its going to fuel cut but then it saves itself. I am not sure what I did wrong here and I am afraid to take the car out. I re-did everything just to make sure and after priming the car I started it again and same story. Any ideas?

Might sound silly but I've seen it done. Did you put the follower in backwards? Are all 3 bolts tightened down correctly, did you hook the sensor back up on top of the HPFP? Did you retighten the bleeder valve when you put it back on.

Check for fuel leaks, if you don't see any then start the car and watch the pump. Any movement, fuel spraying, etc.

Edit: Any check engine lights? Do you or someone you know have vagcom? Scan it and see if it's throwing any codes or missfires.
