OK, I'm once again stumped. My car just won't idle smoothly. It sounds like it's going to die, but then revs itself up a bit, then almost stalls again, then revs again... So, I thought it might be a vac leak. I had already replaced all of the hoses, but found that I had leaks on the air intake runner things, where they connect to the plennum. So, I disassembled everything, replaced those hose-type things, and voila! No more vac leak there. Problem is, still not idling right. It's just as bad now as before. One more thing, I slowly brought up the rpms from the throttle body, to listen, and I think I heard a couple of really quiet backfires. Maybe an exhaust leak? Could this cause a bad idle? Thanks.

Just thought of something that may/maynot have anything whatsoever to do with this. My cold start valve when connected floods the engine. Therefore, I do not connect the elect to the injector there. The fuel line is pressurized and does not leak through the injector. I don't know what sends signals to that injector, but it must be messed up. Could this have anything to do with my poor idle? Thanks again.
