This makes absolutely no ****ing sense to me. How can my car run perfectly for about an hour and now it won't even idle. Here's what I did to remove the pump:
I removed the bolts on the pump and pulled it off leaving all of the hoses and everything still hooked up. Now, if you notice the hoses running off the back of the pump, one goes to the heads and other goes to the exhaust. Well, the exhaust hose was already cut off and capped. I'm assuming my aftermarket h-pipe doesn't allow for any smog hose to connect onto it so it's already been capped off. That only leaves the hose that runs to the heads.
What I did was cut the hose RIGHT BEFORE the brown metal pipes start, and then just left everything else in tact. Does that make sense? You know how the metal pipes are what runs to the heads and the rubber hose connects right to that metal pipe. Well, I just left about 4 inches of hose on the metal pipes and I capped off the hose with a bottle cap. Then, I used some black tape and taped the bottle cap on over the hose so that it was secure and wouldn't fall off.
What did I miss?
Like I said, the car ran GREAT on my way to the auto parts store and then I get back to my buddies house and the ****ing thing won't hold an idle anymore. How does it run fine (better than ever) but now won't even stay running?
My buddy has a digital camera. Pics will be on the way shortly. I need some SERIOUS advice here b/c I have to make it home pretty soon and I don't know HOW I'm going to make it if my car won't idle.
