Pulling codes - Please help!!!!!!

2FastLX · 06-04-2001, 09:34 AM

We checked everywhere for a vacuum line not connected and couldn't find a thing wrong. If there was a leak leaking that much vacuum you'd think you'd be able to hear it pretty good because you can hear the 5 inches it's pulling when you remove a vac line. We checked the vacuum in a few different places I believe ( I was operating the clutch pedal and key

).

We also tried spraying carb cleaner around the intake to check for leaks and it was fine.

Cam timing is on the money. I installed the timing gears myself and know they were lined up. The car wouldn't run as good as it does at WOT if it wasn't. The car runs great once it gets up in the RPM's, and just sputters in the lower end. If the cam timing is off it can't be more than a tooth which wouldn't cause this much of a vac problem anyway. But I know it's not off even a tooth.

Would it help to start plgging off every vacuum line I can until I find the one that is causing the problems? I still have to try pinching off the vac hose to the booster to see if that fixes the problem. I will do that tonight at work.
