Re: Need Tune Up Help
Hey guys - no need to get personal.
I see myself as a "car guy" but it's a hobby, not a profession. Problem is that it could be so many different things.
1. I'm going to chase down vacuum leaks first off. Thought I did a thorough job when I replaced the manifolds but there may be a glitch. I'm a bit gun-shy about tightening these manifolds too much because they are cast iron.
2. VWNate - My manifold has a bold at the end, but the bold is in the factory location. I did have to make the manifold bolt hole a bit bigger so it would align.
3. Could it be the power brake booster?
4. I h haven't ever done timing at 3000 RPM. Is that common?
5. Timing first or idle-mix first?
