i have a 240sx with a blacktop sr20det (garrett gt2871r ar60) (tuned) sometimes when i start the car the idle sputters from 500rpm to 950prm, it doesnt have anything conected from the (pvc) on the valve cover shown in the picture labled as -A-, but then the other vacume attachment labled -B- is blocked off. I took a vacume and conected the two , i then started the car and the idle was very high at about 3100rpm, i then turned the car off disconected the negitive terminal , reconected, blocked off lable -B- as it was originally and left the pvc lable -A- without anything on it as it was before, turned the car on and it seemed to adjust the idle within 5 seconds apon start up, can anyone tell me why -A- and -B- are the way that they are???

thanks

ohh right hand drive? niceanyway vac leaks will cause weird idle. I didnt fully understand what you were saying but i know you have open vac lines which is a vac leak which can effect idle plug vac leaks and you should be good.

btw idk but your engine bay looks so damn small or is it just me

not my car i was just using this image as an example,

let me try to rephrase this,

ok on the image above labled as -B- it is blocked off

then on the image labled as -A- it is looks like this as i circled the pcv doesnt have anything conected to it its been running fine since i got it, it olny sputters once in a while not sure why , should i put a breather on the end of it?
