Maybe your donation wasn't big enough.

Hey Master Pratch;
I tried to Download the Printable Version of your Rats Nest (see ya later) with a $5.00 donation on 5-02-04 and it did not Download.
I recieved what I thought was a confirmation message???
9FM7TX3H after I gave you the Credit Card Number Info.
What's up with this. Any Idea.
Let me know at
sgieldon@earthlink.net
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the quick response Pratch;
I will try again tonight and off the Email when I'm not screwing around with the X.
While we are this subject, I have already removed the goodies but seem to be running into a Stumble and Shitie idle problem and that is why I was looking for something I missed.
And by the way (Jumping Banana), if ya's gots any Ideas please feel free to jump in.

My X is as follows!

84 RX-7 GSL Looks like the day it came out of the showroom, inside and out.
Brand New Pinnapple Racing Motor (Mild StrretPort) i.e. 1800 miles so far.
RB Holley Setup
RB Full Exhaust System
Not going to bore you with all the other goodies, but if she could talk she whould say enough already.
Another words everything Elec & Mech has either been upgraded or replaced and I do mean Everything.
Everybody that seen this RX say's the same thing.
(You have got to be kidding, It's 20 years Young)???
Anyhew thanks for any input.
Steve

P.S. F-In Holley

that was Carl - I've been at my parents celebrating my brother's birthday and putting my replacement header/exhaust in place.

Carl's right, there's a link on the tutorial site to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. version 5 or higher will work just fine, and downloading it to disk is just about a necessity.

Cheers.

Sorry about that Carl;

So Thankyou Dancing Banana.
Any Ideas what to look for in my Post.

Well, the tutorial covers everything to remove, what to cap and what to look for, so following over it will likely find your vacuum leak. There's no way to guess if you went on your own and can't tell us what you've done.

You could take some WD-40 and spray it near the various hoses. By that method, when you hear the engine surge, you'll know you're close to finding any leaks. I'd say go with starter fluid, but if you don't have the right things capped, I imagine that could very seriously produce a fire hazzard
