ACV blocked off and now it wont idle
Okay, so I bought this car and it idled fine. However, when he took the smog pump off, he never blocked off the holes that he left. I happened to have a spare plate to block off the AC & CV, so I did that. At first when I started it, it died. Then it idled at 3 grand. Now it's back to not idling. What to do?

You've got a vac. leak for sure. Get some carb-cleaner, or starting fluid and spray a little bit on where you *think* there might be a leak. If the idle (or whatever you want to call it, lol) jumps or rises, you've found your leak.
Make SURE the block-off plate is PERFECT and is sealed correctly. Also, like Mark said, make sure all your vac. lines are connected correctly (and not cracked or anything).
Good luck,
