[QUOTE="josephcostello, post: 16751501, member: 165586"] Finally got my idle issue resolved. Two vacuum leaks [emoji43] one at the elbow and one at the JLT (this is being ditched soon). [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220327/c16634955114e6367701186ad19e0079.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220327/4b8bbd24ae17746598a7c594c3af487b.jpg[/IMG] If you guys don’t gave one of these tools you need to buy one.
