I've been skeptical if there is some vacuum leak since the warm idle still goes up and down about ±50～100.
So I covered the air inlet on the air cleaner housing completely but the engine was still running as if nothing happened. Does this mean there is a huge air leak or is it designed to breath the air from somewhere else???? Thanks in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

Thanks DD!
But I don't see any other holes other than air cleaner inlet. That must be huge. I've recently changed inner injector seals, intake runner gasket & hoses and other vacuum hoses. What could be the problems? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
