(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Got my first teener this past week (75 2.0) but gotta take care of a few issues to get it registered, i.e., pass the Oregon DEQ inspection. The car is idling high/low so I'm assuming its a vacuum leak. I'm going to change out the vacuum hoses using the Auto Atlanta kit. Any other suggestions on potential leak spots?
Also, noticed my air pump isn't working... the pulley/belt isn't moving? Anyone got suggestions? I'm a complete mechanical novice but luckily have mechanic friend helping out. Get anxious and want to hit the road!!! Vince |

I would use starting fluid or something like that and spray little bursts at the lines, if you have a leak, it will rev up a little. Do not spray it on or around the heat exchangers or exhaust manifolds
