Re:Car still with problems! *help*
dont forget u did a boost guage too and it connects to the FPR line right.. try a diff line, maybe MAP line see what that does. Maybe the boost guage has a leak and its bleeding vac away from the fpr causing it to richen?? (higher prssures)

Cant be. Because when the fuel pump is turned off the gauge reads -20 vac steady. But when its running and stumbling to idle its only -10-12. Plus this is a new boost gauge, and new vac line, and a new T, and new fpr hose than previously.

First thing I would do is get a $20 fuel pressure gauge and see what its running.. I think the low vaccum is from it flooding out and trying to stall. If the smc is bad just return it for a new one.. New afc are like $400 now. You might be better off going obd 1 and chipping it.

Re:Car still with problems! *help*
where did you get a $20 fuel pressure gauge. Everywhere I've been like discount and ---- theyre $35-40. Damn $400 insane. Looks like I'll be getting a used one if the smc is trash. The smc btw was bought used, by someone I dont know. Also bought a btm from them that I have yet to install.
