Guys need help ASAP for local freind. He changed clutch now car will not idle.
Ok guuys, I have a buddy here that is local and he changed his throw out bearing and clutch and now for some reason when he started it wouldnt crank. I ran him through the unflood procedue and for some reason now his car will start but wont hold an idle and will die now. How would changing the clutch do all of this? Anything he could have hit or disconnected? Lemme know ASAP because I am meeting with him at 1:30.
Thanks in advance

ok guys I found a missing ground to the transmission that was disconnected. I dont know if that would make a difference. Maybe I should connect that?
Before it dies it will idle fine and drive fine for a while, and then right before it dies it will idle low and bounce and you can hear this massive sucking sound behind the UIM. Any ideas guys other than reconnect the ground?

a massive sucking would be a vacuum leak... you can use brake clean or a garden hose (just make sure if you use a water hose , that your engine isnt super hot. wouldn't want to crack a exhaust manifold). have someone hold the RPM steady at say 1500 RPM. then the other person needs to spray the area where the sucking noise is to isolate the leak... I am pretty sure you lost a vacuum hose

you can use propane to find vacuum leaks too (easier than water). Just aim a torch (unlit) around the probable leak. RPM will pick up. Don't over due it of course. A few seconds at a time.
