Re: idle question



A good way to check for vacuum leaks is to get a can of carb cleaner and
spray hoses when engine is idling high.  when the idle Drops, you have found
the leak.  Just be careful not to set the car on fire.  This technique
helped me fix the high idle prob in my 85 8v, there was a stupid T that was
cracked.
