did some more testing and playing around yesterday and found that there was a leak in the MPS vacuum. that leak is/was causing it to idle really rough. when i plug the leak it runs good or rather like it should. when i open the leak back up or unplug the vacuum line it runs horrible again. for one the mps has been tampered with and there is a hole drilled through it. for two and for good news. i have another one comming in a few days so i can hopefully swap the two out and have better luck with the new one.
couldn't see the leak because of the cloth covered hoses... blah |

.... when i plug the leak it runs good or rather like it should. when i open the leak back up or unplug the vacuum line it runs horrible again. Where are you able to plug and un-plug? Are you removing the MPS from the system? If you are unplugging the hose and leaving it OPEN to the atmosphere, the MPS might not have a problem. To test the MPS, you put a vacuum on the port of the MPS (5-10 lbs) and observe leakage. There is also an electrical test of an MPS. |
