hey ya'll
i have vacuum issues at idle...
at cold startup idle is bout 1200-1400rpm and vacuum is about 12inhg
as choke comes off vacuum gradually goes to 18
at this time car also misfires slightly but only when warm and at idle
go for a drive and shes sweet as, no miss under load stop at lights and miss comes back and vacuum now reads 18-19 in drive and 20-21 in park
ignition timing perfect... plugs burning great...
can screwed up air fuel mixture (running really rich at idle) cause this
any other ideas?
thanx

You will find if your running to rich you would have to advance the timming to get the car to idle right, how bad is the miss

my timing is currently 10BTDC which is stock
my miss is a slight "blip" every 10-20secs or so
i'm just fussy lol
i like my engine to be "blip" free

7M-GTE <--- You could blame that too
After a BHG i think every 7M owner has a fit every time a funny noise makes its way into the engine bay

so thanks for ya ideas ppl's
