I have 1180 miles on my rebuilt TII, a couple days ago the it started stalling if I had the A/C and head lights wont idle. Its been getting a lil worse ever since, now when I start the car I have to give it gas for a sec then it will idle but at 1200 rpms(idle was at 1400 for the breakin) If I turn on the A/C it dies right away, if I turn on the lights it drops slightlyand when I break hard RPMs drop.

Here is what I know the alt. is good just had it checked out, Checked all the intercooler/turbo connectons, and I noticed that the sub-zero starting reservior vac line that goes connects under the UIM is not connected I tried putting a line on there and only got it on a little bit but it didnt change anything, BAC is good per factory service manual.



any ideas thanks

kinda sounds like an air leak and a serious one at that. use brake clean or carb spray while the car is running and randomly spray around the intake and anything after the maf. when you knowtice the rpms get goofy note the place you last sprayed and serch for a leak, aka bad gasket or off vacum line and what not.

hope that helps.
