After clutch install, i took my car out into town and it lopes real bad at idle and when i try to hold a constant speed in like 5th gear it hops like its going to die but pretty bad. I also am running extremely rich with black smoke out my exaust and getting litterally 3 Miles to the Gallon! I was told that this was a vaccum leak somewhere but am not sure. Could a vaccum leak make my car do all this and if so how would i find it?
thanks
