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) |

How about removing the air cleaner and closing off the air intake with your hand. If the engine dies, great. That means you are looking in the right place (cleaner/hoses). If not, you've got a serious plenum leak or throttle body leak.
