Update: Vaccum
For a while I have been chasing down vacuum leaks caused by poor workmanship. Basically, I've been going back over much of what was done by a certain tech at the shop I used to manage. Thankfully, I have been able to stamp out many leaks (shown in earlier posts). However, there is still a faint leak that can be heard when stepping on the throttle and intermittently at idle. My plan was to ignore the leak due to its small sound and because I had not noticed any idle fluctuations.
However, the NNN decided to act up on the Roadkill test drive last night. There was no major foolishness going on, but the idle did search (not surge), up and down in staccato fashion a couple hundred RPMs. While that's not a lot I don't want it to turn into a lot. Furthermore, it seems that a cross country trip will be in this car's future. Much of that trip will be through desertville New Mexico. I'm really not interested in having issues in the middle of nowhere. Therefore, I'm going to check it out and post my findings. I already have suspicions.
Since pics are desired here is a pic of my idle stats after the test drive. The motor has about 500-600 miles on it right now. Everything look good?
