Thumbs down High Idle, Poor reponce, any advice, please?? L@@K!!11&&##

Hello all

Im having some carb problems (i believe) with my 12a GSL. It idles around 2000 RPM, and when I give it gas and let off, it sort of hangs at whatever RPM i revved to, and then backs down, and overall isnt that reponsive. I thought it was the clogged cats, but it continues to do so after deleting them. Its still gotits emissions ****, i was wondering if removing some of that could help, or does something just need an adjust?

Thanks,
Jeff B

Yeah it's most likely a vacuum leak. Check all your lines, especially the ones leading to the carb.

I would take a look at your linkage, too. Just make sure it's all moving smoothly.
