Removed a/c and smoggy. Did intake swap with the "starter fluid test". I am thinking I have a vacuum leak in one of the lines that connected to either the a/c or smog hardware. What needs to be plugged off after a/c removal? What do you to to plug off the red white and green vacuum hoses that are connected to the smog valves on the passenger side? I cant get this thing to idle worth the 'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me'!!! Its got to be a leak. Oh, and I ditched the charcoal cannister, what has to be plugged there?

also i forget to mention that the red vacuum line should run to fuel pressure regulator and that is a must to have to connected to it, your idle will be extremely rought without that connected and you will lose a lot of power. post back on how it goes after u do that
