Thumbs up

Heres the deal. I went on vacation to Canada for a couple nights and when I came back my car wouldn't start for some reason. The belts would turn but it wouldn't spark. So, I pushed started it because I figured the plugs were covered in fuel, and it started running. I let it run for about 20 mins and it seemed to be running fine. So i took it for a test ride and evertime I would hit the break the car would just die, and almost not start...it had a lot of trouble. Now it starts but the idling is just all over the place. It will be at 1200 then 100, back and forth. Granted, my exhaust has a few leaks and it shakes liek a bastard when its running. So im guessing its either theres not enough back pressure form the exhaust or that theres something wrong with the vac lines....If anyone has any ideas of what you think my problem is it would be very helpful



Thanx

check for a air leak on the lower intake manifold to the motor, and change the plugs too.
