Best Answer

It will not close quickly or completely, on intake it will cause loss of compression and backfiring, on exhaust also loss of compression.

There may also be some noise from piston hitting valve, and possible damage.

Will a weak valve spring perform more poorly at idle speed?

A valve spring's job is to close a valve opened by a mechanical or pneumatic opening mechanism. The weaker the spring, the slower it will close the valve. This usually manifests itself by the valve 'floating' at higher RPM's. As a spring weakens, the RPM at which the valve 'floats' will decrease. In general, the valve will still operate at lower RPM's, but not at higher RPM's. To achieve higher RPM's, engines built for performance usually use stronger springs to return the valve as quickly as possible, to accommodate the reduced time available to close the valve. The tradeoff is that the valve is slammed against the seat harder soon wearing both out.
