correct...if it were just a vaccum leak, the engine idle would go up not down...I think...start your beater and pull a vac line off the back and see what happens...mite help you to understand better how exactly the lines influence engine dynamics....but yes i would plug it, and play with the idler and throttle screws.

 

hey guys. just want to check somethin out here. I think i've got all my vacume leakage taken care of. I hooked up my boost gauge to see what kinda vacume pressure i had. I noticed that i had about 15 or so lbs. of negitive pressure, & when i opened the throttle up a little bit it would jump up (not all the way to zero) but then while it was open something would compensate for it & bring it back to my origional negitive 15 lbs. of pressure.

I wasn't sure if this was right nor not so i hooked my boost gauge up to my d15 beater mobile & did the same test & got the same resultz.

just figured i'd share that with u guys, i've been questioning my self a lot lately for some reason.. just bein paranoid i guess!

 

so the idle problem is fixed?

the vacuum thing sounds about right. when you push on the throttle the vacuum from the intake is filled by incomming air, the RPMs climb and create a vacuum in the intake again. A never ending cycle....

I've found a little paranoia is good, keeps you second guessing and not messing anything up.

 

Yep! so now it's time to hook up my charge pipes & see what i got!

 

you got a buddy comin down to ohio if all goes well h:
