Hi all, firstly I have searched a fair bit on this site for the same problem to avoid posting a duplicate post so if i've missed it or indeed have posted in the wrong section i do apologise.

I have an S13 200sx turbo which for the last few months has idled progressively worse to the point of stalling now. 2 weeks with a mechanic and he didn't know what it could be... Anyway, I have located a vacuum leak below the AAC value (located centre right of the manifold). At one point of stall a loud blast of air ejected and followed a small amount of blue smoke. I'm not very competant with engines, but could this be one of the injectors? Sorry, i'm sure this is very obvious to some but not me lol, thanks for any help, would be much appreciated.

It just sounds like you need to get the gaskets replaced on the idle control assembly.
