Help!! Engine Miss

Ben Kallies · 06-19-2012, 10:04 PM

Gary,

I appreciate your input. A vacuum leak has crossed my mind a number of times, but the car seems to be running rich, as opposed to lean, as I would expect with a vacuum leak. I'm certainly open to the possibility however, that I'm misinterpreting something. What's the best way (ie: effective and safe) to check for a vacuum leak? Anyone?

Dan,

You're spot on with your Corvette thoughts. They are a slightly different animal. Just to reiterate, and speak to the items you mentioned, my negative battery cable was fairly new, but I just replaced it last month, to be sure. At the same time, I payed a great deal of attention to all of the ground circuits on the car, and made some nice improvements along the way. I've already unplugged the two-step and removed and replace the RPM modules, with no change. Thank you for your words of encouragement.

-Ben
