Good to hear Magoo. Sorry I wasn't around all weekend to chime in on your issues.

You installed that curved neck IM while you had the DE one off, right? Crazy to do that job twice when you don't have to!

**magoo978** · 4-27-09, 14:21

actually jeff i didnt.
it was to much of an headache at the time.
way to much to do and the weather SUCKED all week.

i got everything running, BUT my car idles funny.
i know itz a vacumm hoses somewhere thats not put in right or missing.
im pretty sure its around my VRIS area.

does anyone have a diagram or anything that can help me out with this problem around the VRIS area???

thanks

I don't have any diagrams handy, sorry Magoo.

We'll get that curved neck on at a mod meet soon enough!

Did you use new IM gaskets or re-use the old? If you re-used the old, what type of RTV did you use on them? Or did you use Phenos (any RTV?) instead?

**magoo978** · 4-28-09, 5:21

well jeff,

i used the old gasket. it was a metal gasket n looks like it can be re-used.

I've re-used them, but only with RTV on both sides.

This could be your idle problem.

**magoo978** · 4-28-09, 8:32

it could be. i just got a diagram of where vacuum lines go. adjat84th hooked me up.
i am going to try this out. if it still idles funny, i will put some RTV on the gaskets.
we'll see what happens.

thanks jeff

not as bad as before.
