Well it is still acting up after I took it out today. For some reason I think it is connected to the AC but last night when I was messing with it, it didn't hurt the idle speed at all. I am looking into getting a PFC this summer and I am wondering if this will clear up any of the problems. I hope it Does https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

Update......Took her out again. Put it in the driveway and popped the hood. The coolant system is bubbling like crazy. It sounds like I am frying eggs on the UIM. Its gurggling and making strange noises. I thought I had a bad coolant seal but I am not loosing coolant and I haven't seen the buzzer in over a week. All my lines are connected from what I can see. She is driving okay right now. A little slower but still has power. However the idle is really really low.

what VAC are you pulling at idle, and at what RPM?

Right now it is at 13PSI and bucks a little while and a few seconds later goes to about 400rpms. When I take it out the VAC goes up and so does the idle. But I have to warm it up a little before anything happens.



I am about 5 seconds away from taking the UIM off and just checking everysingle hose. I am just so damn tired https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif And hungover https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

any smoke?

I figured that would be another indication also. I had a friend tell me he saw black smoke coming out of my muffler when I was pushing it. But I would expect that since I have no cats and a ported engine. I have noticed I am using quite a bit of fuel though in the last few days. Not by much but maybe losing 2-3mpg

maybe its something like the leading coil/ignition?

yeah black smoke under accel is just fuel... normal if you are running really rich.



I'd take out your plugs, maybe one or some are fouled, when was the last time you replaced them? Especially if you are spitting black smoke, you can foul them easily. I'd check the plugs and wires... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



edit: i see 5 days.. still, you can foul plugs in 10 min.

The plugs are only 6 days old now. The wires have been upgraded from stock ones and maybe a year old.



Edit: I'll check them out. In a little while. My car is still hot https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

don't rule your plugs out, then can foul easily.. my friend was replacing his plugs every time he filled up for gas...he was running really rich as well.. just check them, no sense in ruling them out if its been 6 days.
