its not really worth it... checking it isn't hard... your aiming for ~159 Hertz without the car idling (atmospheric pressure).

Cheers

when you say without the car idling do you mean turned off, or reving it?

i jsut did a diagnosis thing an it was sayin the map sensor so me an my brother went over it all an sure enough split vacume hose right down the bottom hidden away, so its all better now, smokes a little still but compared to before its 100% doesnt stall an running alot better, so to all the people saying about the vacume leak ya were right... an i should have listend sooner, would have saved me a couple hundred dollars

thanks anyway all of you

that'll do it...

Ill be the first one.. I told you so!

lol, just joking, Im glad you fixed it. That shouldve been it. It might be blowing smoke because it was running so rich, and it built up, give it a couple of days, should clear up..

Also, check your plugs (or change), and check your cat converter.. They hate rich cars.


Cheers and congrats
