Re: Thinking about throwing in the Towel
ok, so i got her back to stock. At least the injectors are stock and the charge air piping is not forcing air into the TB. (running open TB, no filter) There are no CEL's and it has a small vac leak. I think it's on the manifold gasket or those o-rings on the IM. It had a high idle still and I checked it with some carb cleaner. RPM's dropped when the cleaner was sprayed on the mani gasket. I'm gonna try to get a new gasket kit, it's $37 at advanced...we will see what happens.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Interesting to see just how much is being controlled by the piggyback, and just how far a simple problem gets turned into a huge fiasco.
