Yes, replace the gasket,

Any auto parts store will have vacuum line. Try to find the silicone line it will hold up to heat better.

Get the injectors professionally cleaned. They can test the spray pattern and flow rate. Try witchhunter, or check locally maybe you can find a shop close to you. There was a member that did this for $60 at one point, but I can't who that was. They were in the vendor section.

alright and to get to all the vaccume lines i need to remove the upper intake manifold.... how many bolts hold it on and how do i remove it

gavinmosher

Alright guys i pulled the upper intake manifold off.... NOT GOOD... i have plugs that are like desintigrated wires melted together one of the plugs ground wires is pulled out cuz theres a random black wire sticking out of the mess.... wtf.... can anyone make anything out of this and if this may fix my problem i want to attach the pictures but they will be quite big


EDIT.... One of the wires that has the random black wire with no end coming out of it is the wire with the ring snap that plugs into the BAC valve.... THE one with the toasted connections and the wires touching goes to the air control valve....

gavinmosher

Could this be the cause of my problem? lol

gavinmosher

i am fixing the wires that were split but i cant find where the ground wire goes.... it is on the plug that goes to the BAC.... any ideas wehre i need to run it?

sounds like a big mess =(

gavinmosher

o believe me it was haha... okay i got it to idle down to about 800 or so rpms.... its rough but it is down.... NOW would the coolant temperature sending unit cause this problem because my ecu is throwing the code for it being bad.... so i need to replace it where is it located? i see a temp sending unit i think to the left or toward the passenger side of the alternator

its on the rear iron under the oil filter..the one for the gauge is at least.

Alright guys it is idling at 800 rpms now EXCELLENT super stoked even though its rough.... still cutting out at 3000rpm ish.... i drove it around my field real quick could barly push the gas and it would go real slow.... as soon as i wanted to accelerate again and push the gas it would rev perfect untill 3000 rpm's then it pops alot or it will just not do anything and drop back down

gavinmosher

Alright guys EXTREMELY weird.... i actually got it to go past 3000 rpms by flooring it and it was doing pretty well but seems to stutter still roudn 3500 like everyone else but boost still isnt building????? i cant hear a BOV and the boost gauge isnt budging

gavinmosher

well it goes up to zero haha but thats it... and i dont hear the bov at all...

gavinmosher

okay i noticed today that once it warms up it seems to want to rev easier so i let it get warmer and i took it out on the road.... again it seems to want to cut out sometimes when it gets near 3000 or so rpms.... but other times it will do it fine... still building no boost either
