Talking Idle is fixed!!

For about a year now I have been searching for why my car won't idle at all. If I took my foot off the gas the car would die and it would surge all the time. Last week I decided to rebuild my intake manifold, that helped it run smoother but it still idled like crap. I decided to take the ACV off and put a blockoff plat in its place. After I took the hose that came from the air pump off I noticed a small metal piece stuck in the ACV I pulled it out and installed my plat. I started the car and it purred like a kitten. If anybody can't figure out why your car won't idle take the ACV off. The less emissions stuff the better. (unless your in a state were emission checks are required)

Definitely. I used to have a whine from a vacuum leak I couldn't find. Fortunately for me, I met Carl and the rest as they say is history
