check your brake booster. i have a vacuum leak as well, and i think i found it. i kept looking all around the intake manifold, and didn't find ----. but when i turn my car off, and then run to my engine compartment right after, i think i hear a vacuum noise coming from my brake booster. i never really thought to check there... maybe you didn't either. good luck to you, i ------- hate vacuum leaks, and know EXACTLY how you feel. >:(

Re:shitty idle....
 

k, fixed it. there are two holes that let air bypass the throttle plate, one is for the IACV and the other the cool idle valve or some ----. anyway i just made a new gasket that blocked off that bottom one (cold idle) and it ------ runs great!

Re:shitty idle....
 

that means that your fast idle valve is gumed up and sticking open ... :)

take her off and clean the hell outta it and pop it back on w./ a normal gasket and ur good to go.

Re:shitty idle....
 

or...i can take it off and throw it away and leave the gasket the way it is ::)

ya u coooould. When you start your car (if it was 100% normal) it's supposed to rev to 2k until it starts to warm up. Does yours do that still?

nope not really....
