Further Idle Problems....
Ok, I just got the car back from Goodyear today. They fixed my tranny cooler line for less than $40 and balanced my tires at the same time. Anyway the car barely made it home. It really wants to die at idle at lights and things. The idle will go from around 1100 drop down to 600 and back it continues to drop lower and lower until the car barely turns over, then dies.... It doesnt drive very well either, and in park when revved the car will just flat stall. It also does it when you throw it in park or when you pop out of idleing in neutral.... Anyway Im just trying to narrow down on if this could be fuel pressure vacuum timing or all of the above?? My regulator is leaking vacuum at the little vacuum line nozzle... Causing many problems Im sure. Ill set the timing tomorrow and get that replaced ASAP but could I plug the leak with some sealant or something?

If you have a vacuum leak on your fuel press. reg it will cause problems like you are describing. Replace the vacuum fitting or the line and see if that fixes it. :cheers:
