It is running rough. It is running like bub bub bub. lik the rpms go down and then go back up. I did a compression test and it seems fine. what else could be wrong?

Are your plugs good? Sounds like your getting too much fuel. Make any fuel adjustments lately?

loose vac lines or bad wires would make the idle go bub bub bub

The one vac line from the 1st solinoid on the rack is off. I broke the nipple off of it. How much $ are those solenoids? Would that cause the problem. That line goes to a one way check valve then into the TB.

In your other post you said that it didn't start going anywhere until 4000 rpm's and it smoked. Pull the intake pipe off the front turbo and check to see if it is hard to spin or locked up. The excessive back pressure from a siezed turbo will cause the crap idle, and the turbo will blow oil like it's cool also.

Cool thats some Good info IGY.!! I had it running today though and I could hear the turbos spool and then the BOV goes off as normal. I am going to check the turbos anyway. I need to fix my vaclines and then if I still have any probs them i am back to the drawing board. Thanks.
