[QUOTE="WZL 96, post: 12666010, member: 139673"] Okay, recently did a IMRC clean, buttoned it up and it ran fine minus a small vacuum leak which was fixed. drove the car for about a week with no problems then drove the car 200 miles to Atlanta to stay the week. It didn't give me any problems until about 75 miles to go from being home on the way back I threw the clutch and put it in neutral to get off an exit for gas... and the car dies! I get it stopped, cranked it back up and died immediately. So I limp it to a gas station keeping it running at stop lights by keeping my foot on the gas. I gas it up and make it home and on the way it threw a code so I just checked it tonight. It's two codes saying its running lean. I assume its a vacuum leak becuase it has all the signs for one. I cant do a carb cleaner vacuum leak test because it wont idle. sometimes it will try to idle but eventually dies. I did do the janky DIY smoke test with a cigar and noticed it was leaking from the top of the IAC (looks like a vent cap maybe?) It looked like hell anyway so I have a new one coming in the mail. The car is completely stock as far as the engine goes. So, could it be anything else? Any grand ideas? As always, any help is greatly appreciated. I'm so tired of having my girl sitting dead in the corner of my shop. [/QUOTE]
