I have an 87 TII with emissions removal on a jspec motor. I've had it started once, but after that day it won't run again. Although there are very few vacuum lines, i'm beginning to think that it's a gigantic vacuum leak. I have a vac/boost gauge installed and its is reading almost no vacuum while cranking- that's not how its supposed to be, is it?

 

i get a little bobble of the needle thats it

 

hmm thanks... Damn, i was hoping to blame my troubles on vacuum leaks. While we're on this topic, how much do you get while your car idles?

 

I'll make it separatate...(bump) how much vacuum do you get when youre car is idling?

 

arround 17

 

should get anywhere from 12"-18" of vacuum at an 850RPM.

My car pulls 1-2KPA of vacuum whle cranking, thats like 1/8" of vacuum.

 

Perfectly normal. How much vacuum do you expect at 200rpm?
