12 lbs of vac? problem?
59k on the motor. I start it every 3 days. The weather forecast shows it feels like 1ºF. The car idles at 800-1200.
I "plugged" my airpump from the intakes, to stop the noise.
My mods are: power fc, catback, greddy profec b, bov, hardpipe intakes with hks filters.
is it becuase of the cold weather? is it becuase my airpump is plugged? The car has tock motor, stock vac lines. Should the vac lines just be replaced?
thanks for the help.

The air pump puts a little bit of air into the engine at idle. If you have plugged up the (intake) portion of the air pump, you will not get the needed air at idle. This can cause a lumpy idle,stalling,rough idle. This could be the cause. Also, The cold weather might be suspect. Even in Hawaii, when i start the car the vaccum is around 16, after it warms up to operating temps. it goes up to 19-20. And 1F is alot colder than it gets here!!Try unplugging the airpump and seeing what happens.
