im trying to see what i have and don't have in my engine bay and why i seem to have missing vacuum hoses.
can i get a few pictures of peoples engine bays. possibly one with smog equipment and one without. and what is an anti flash back valve?

weirdest thing just happened.
earlier we regaped the spark plugs and the distributor and it was running the same way (AAR valve off) and running like a champ
went out there to see if it had vacuum off the MPS and started it up and ran really high rpm. its warm but not hot by any means maybe 3 hours of sitting. i actually plugged up the hose where the AAR should be and it idled PERFECT.
im just thinking and posting my results so i have something to look back on if i forget/change something. and if anyone has any input.

You AAR has been stuck open..

the aar isn't on the car right now, hasn't been for a few days. ran like a champ with it off for a few days then yesterday just started running like it should with it off.
are you saying that it caused it to act up even after the aar was removed? if so when i put it back on this evening it should run like its supposed to?

No ...

Randomly removing and adding components will not help you to diagnose your problem.

You need to start with the basics and methodically work through each of the components.

- Adjust valves
- Grab your timing light and time the engine.
- Take your multimeter and trace each and every wire in the engine harness. If in question, cut back the plastic sheeting and look for brittle or broken wires.
- Check your relay board. Check all relays. Check all connectors.
- Check your spark plus, plug wires and distributor.
- Check all your vacuum hoses.
- Report back here.


Right now, you are going in circles ...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) method to the madness, or your chaisng your tail whacking moles. I am not discouraging or chatising you, I have been there and have been my own worst enemy.. You have alot of heart,, and you will get this. alot of people say screw it and get carbs then have carb issues.. once you get it you will see its simplicity and still chase aghost once in a while but know where to look here after.. I like the Djet.. before whacking moles I feared it..
