RE: 87 SD GT
Well, I was listening to my engine run and noticed a couple of dry-rotted vacuum lines, and needed to be replaced. The one that goes to the MAP sensor to the backside under the intake was almost in half, so I decided to pull the upper intake off and see what others needed replacing... this is what I found when I pulled the upper:
I called the guy I got the car from he said the only time the upper was removed was 4yrs ago when he had the dealership install new valve cover gaskets... He said the car has never idled right, and even then, the dealer couldn't find out why.
Looks like whoever removed the upper, pinched the plastic wire loom while reinstalling... it's been that way for 4 YEARS!
I got it all back together (correctly), it runs perfectly smooth now... but I still wanna convert to mass-air.
Just thought I'd share this "experience" with yall...
