Took rbob's advice a but futher, and disconnected everything vac assisted off the engine, and put the meter on it.

So:
hvac
break booster
purge canister

No vac leak, engine revs fine, sweet
Hook purge canister back up, runs fine, sweet
I had pulled hvac off before, no effect, sweet

this leaves me too, something in my break system is causing the excessive vac leak causing it to run like crap. After dinner its new hose, hose clamps, and check valve first.

What are the odds that something like that goes out the second I fill it with gas

So rbob, how much do I owe you?

 

Dale,

I noticed you have a 1991 Camaro RS....

If you go to the Body and Interior board there is a Big notice posted up there about Gas Tank recalls for your year of car.

Just thought I would FYI ya

Did ya one better

 

hey how's the progress coming? Did you get it running good?

 

The vac leak was the check valve and hose going to the booster.

We poured some of the gas out, that I sucked out of the tank, somethings not right with it. So I am going to drive it tell it dies on gas. Then fill it up and install new plugs, and run a de-carbon kit on it.

Running WAY better then when I first had this problem, but still not fully right. Praying its combo on bad gas, vac leak, and now new/dirty plugs.


I installed my new double heim joint lca's today. Buahh *chants* no more bushings, no more bushings

 

awesome awesome! keep us posted!

 

good work, sometimes its the weirdest things that causes problems
