Hello again ..

Update on recent testing results regarding idle dropping to zero when the car is hot.

Fuel pressure is a steady and constant 36 lbs. Maybe a bit on the high side, but apparently is not the cause of the problem.

Vacuum measured out at 10-12, until the idle went south, then it went flipping all over from 1 to 5. Jack up the RPMs and vacuum went up as high as 20, then settled down at 10-12 for idle, then back to 1-5 when the idle decided to go south.

I did find a vacuum line that comes out from under the air cleaner that has been cut and plugged. As far as I could read the diagram, I think it goes to the oil breather.

If I pull the plug on this line (open it up) the engine races madly, which may be why it is plugged. If I run a line to the oil breather, would I be able to tone down the idle from 4500 rpm?

What would cause such a situation?

Thank you again for all the assistance, I'm having such a wonderful time not driving my car! *sigh*

Lonny
