I done a little bit of paint work yesterday, painted my upper intake and valve covers silver and cleared em. I also changed intake gaskets while I had the upper off, I scraped the old gasket off and put the new one on and tightened everything back down. Reset the computer and all since I had the TPS unplugged. Well I went to crank it up today and it just died. Wont run at all, I finally got it to idle but its idling at 200 rpm. On my boost gauge, it will crank up with around 8-10inches of vacuum then it will slowly rise to 12-13 inches then die. What do you think? Vacuum leak or something else?

Nevermind I fixed it. Damn PCV tube had come off, damn thing has gave me enough trouble already.

Oh well, problem fixed.
