Found the problem to my car, need some advice though
Alright i was having the car somtimes idles but sometimes stalls, i try to give it gas but the accelerator aint doing crap, and essentially some bucking. I checked for the vaccum leaks and found my intake hose is leaking essentially grabbing more air and messing up the ratio. I raised the idle at 1000 for now to compensate and the car runs fine now.
question is, where should i go to get new intake hoses and what exactly should i replace?
-90 gxl

Put your idle back down to factory specs, and then replace all your vacuum hoses. You can find silicone hose at any local speed shop. While you are at it, do a full 60K tuneup.

i was talking about that main intake hose. ( in the yellow lines ) . I should replace it with a hose from pep boys?
i've flushed and changed my fluids. tranny: mt-90, oil: castrol gtx 20w50, etc. new oil and fuel filter along with new spark plugs.

way to answer his question aaroncake...
tigerclaw, you can buy a used intake pipe here on the forum. there are thousands of NA FC's on this site and i'm sure someone has an intake pipe they could sell you for dirt cheap. i bet aaron cake even has one.

sounds good.
my idle is perfect, the only reason i have it raised is to compensate so my car doesn't stall when i'm trying to leave in first gear. not like i'm gonna keep it that way. har har. i rather have it idle a little high then stall at every light and look like a moron for now.

Regardless, my advice is 100% valid and should be done regardless.
