The new setup

[sjbsuperman1425]

almost forgot, i have a nice vacuum leak too. I'm pulling 15-16" at idle which isn't terrible, but i was pulling 18 all day last year. I think its the IACV gasket, since a bit of it came off during the whole cleaning process and i dont believe I put any RTV on it..so that'll come off when I get some time and I'll see if that fixes my vacuum.

I'M PROMISING A VIDEO OF MY CAR RUNNING AND DRIVING WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS! Full walk around/through and everything.

dont you guys HATE it when your car runs good, but you always find a stupid problem to bring it back down to "non-running" status? My intake manifold is "coming off" the head. there is 1/8" gap between the head and lower manifold so now i have to take ALL that off and replace the gaskets..its ok i guess since i kinda needed to anyway but i just dont want to do it

hopefully this will solve some problems like gas mileage, sputtering while driving at slow speeds, and my vacuum which is at around 14". It pulls 18" sometimes so if this is why i have bad vacuum, i should be near 20 xD
