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) |

Huge air leak from somewhere. All the air getting into the engine "should" be coming from the air filter housing. If you blocked that off, then it's coming from somewhere else...

I'm assuming you have a same model with D-jet set up like mine. So you are being asked as my role model. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
