and when u change the gasket make sure to use alot of permatex (black permatex is the best) and tighten with a hand wrench, NO AIR TOOLS or it will just mess up again. see the engine is getting too much air and its causing it to surge. i changed mine and it cost about 12 dollars and took me about 20 minutes. u can test it by spraying brake cleaner over ur intake manifold right where it connects to ur head. hope this helps good luck

[coughs] your crazy [coughs]

use regular car oil on both sides of the gasket. i bet taking off the gasket again after the permatex sealant has been on is alot of fun huh

its not alot of air that causes it to bounce idle with a vac leak. its uneven pressure

if vac leaks put too much air in the cylinders, i should put as many vac leaks as can then give it a tune

you want a better way to find a vac leak PRECISELY, go to your local automotive shop and rent a vac tester. you get your money back after returning it
