Vaccuum lines just cause your car to run like **** when they pop off...dont they?

Are you swearing at it enough? That might be a problem...unless you're swearing at it too much...that could be a problem too...

haha you guys really aren't helping each other.



Have you checked whether the coils are working properly?

What about your timing?

LOL yea we're not getting anywhere............but yea, the timing is good, coils are working fine, but i think i know the prob...................The injectors are bad, because whenever i take out the plugs to see if there wet and if its flooded, there are soaked! Literally dripping with gas, even if i DONT give it any gas while turning it over. So im thinking the injectors keep flooding it so it wont start. WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!! I think i found the problem!!!!

I had something similar happen on my GSLSE. as you look at the car, there's a vacuum line on the left (pass side) that goes from the main intake hose to the manifold It's maybe six inches long with one elbow in it. Check that fitting...mine was loose and it was doing what you're seeing.
