i think i have a vacuum leak, but i'm not sure. what is the stock manifold pressure suppose to be at idle??

 

-20vac

 

Spray some carb cleaner around the throttle body, and injector seals, it is common to see leaks there, can you hear anything? is your car idling high?

 

it wasd idling fine most of the time (with the exception of once or twice when it was really cold), but i had a cel for my iac valve and i couldn't figure it out. well my dumb *** reused my throttle body gasket cause it looked fine and i din't want to wait for advanced auto parts to overnight one for 2 dollars. i finally after 1 month figured that this was the only thing that it could be unless my iac valve was just bad, so i ordered one, changed it out and voala! i was gonna buy a vacuum gauge to see if i did in fact have a leak, but i dind't know what the manifold vacuum was suppose to read, so i held off and figured i would try the tb gasket first, good thing because it only cost 2 bucks and the vacuum gage was 20 bucks :P

 

"dumbass"

 

thank you sir well, we learn from our mistakes (most of us anyways)

 

hey no problem anything i can do to help

we sure as hell do. one time i couldnt figure out why the hell my amps wouldnt turn on. turns out the fuse holder needs a fuse in it, who woulda thought?

 

yeah, well a while ago (back in june) i was posting because i did my first engine swap i swapped a newer b18b into my 93 teg because i hydrolocked the 18a, well, i got everything out, all accessories, tranny, harness, dizzy, everything onto the new longblock and put back together in a little over a day, but then it took me a week to get it running because my firing order was wrong i couldn't figure it out, i knew it was something with my dizzy becaue i was getting a ---- load of fuel and foulin out plugs every 20 minutes after buying a new rotor, coil, cap and more plugs (about my 5th set by now), i looked in my manual again and realized that the pic of the dizzy they had was sideways

 

did your car bounce at idle? my friend (yungtuner)has that problem. we took his TB off to replace the TPS and when we put it back on after it warms up it revs to 2k then drops to 800rpm. prolly juse needs the TB gasket cause we reused the old one.
