Re: New motor
It's tough to say... you didn't mention what kind of motor you have.
With the motor running, take a can of carb cleaner and spray it around the intake, on hose connections, etc. (anywhere a vacuum leak could occur).
If the motor idles differently, you found your leak.
Hope this helps!

Re: New motor
thanks for the reply, but ive actualy tried that and coudlnt seem to find anyting, and its a rebuilt 350 in a 87 gta, the thing that seems to be confusing anyone i talk to is that the heater are stuck on defrost and they all thing it has something to do with vaccum.
