seems as if i have a vacuum leak. my mechanic just installed new intake gaskets- upper and lower. somehow my car is getting a vacuum leak and it is causing it to idle at 1400rpm.
my mechanic said he replaced all the vacuum lines as well. tomorrow he is going to use a smoke machine (like from the dance club) to look for the problem (blow smoke into the cai to find the leak). i have a new iac, and the tps has just been cleaned (by him) i need to get my car to idle like it should say 875rpms or even 1000rpms? it would sound pretty mean with my e-cam and full o/r exhaust. now it just sounds like a pos that has idle issues.
we are almost out of ideas and there are like 5 guys working to solve this problem (not including myself and everyone here on stangnet). he said it drives wicked fast as is but the idle is just really high. he also mentioned that its running a bit rich. he checked in with chris from mass air efi- a distributer in ma. for professional mass air systems (who now owns pro-m). i talked to chris and he said that it is not the mass air and that theres no reason to spend over $300 on something thats not broken- he also told my mechanic that. he suggested some sort of a vacuum leak where unmetered air is getting into my engine causing the higher than normal idle.
look friday, saturday and sunday are the last days of racing here in ma. the new england dragway is done after this weekend and i have been waiting all summer for this. please please please someone help me find out what exactly i need to have done to fix my stang.
