Default Or he could check these areas...

1. Pull the Michelin man hose off the car and visually inspect for leaks - the cracks like to hide between the ribs sometimes.

2. Valve cover gasket - if it is old and especially if it is original, they like to crack and allow air in. BTDT.

3. The three way hose on top of the valve cover.

4. The crankcase breather hose.

5. The idle screw on top of the throttle body.

BTW Randy your link doesn't work for sh*t, you could have at least put the correct link in your post...

Yes, i could have. I can never get the links or url's right. I'll have to work on that, given.

At least i can search the archives although.

I cant't stand it when someone cant even look a half page down for the answer to their question, or do a basic search.

zzz....
