(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 |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) brakecleaner or carbcleaner will work great. spray on the area in question and listen for the idle to change (should go down if you have a leak) ... keep a fire extinguisher nearby ...
