350-400mghg vac,am i fucked?
started my fd a couple days ago. its been in storage for vinter but i took it out to clean it a bit and to run the engine warm, started fine butt after it got hot the idle got a little strange. dropped to 500 and was a little rough... all fine when i revved it to hold 1000rpm,,, an the vac seemes low, reading about 400 on the powerfc.
but here is the thing,,, if i have lost an apex, shouldnt it be a bitch to start?
because it isnt.. starts as easy as allways...
please can someone tell me whats happening(fearing the worst)

Breathe friend. Remember you battery is mad weak if you haven't been charging it.
Could be many things. Only advice I can give u is take the battery out of your car. And never start it until summer. When summer comes before starting it change all fluids and never boost on the tank of gas.

stock engine....
seemes to be all fine today,,, the battery is resently recharged.
here are some vac readings:514mmhg at 2250 497 at 1250 490 at 1200. the idle doesnt seeme to want to drop below 1000rpm today,,, this is readings from the powerfc the tach shows lower numbers,, watertemp during readings are 81-85celcius
but the car acted really strange last time,, could it just have been bad gas? with a little water in it.. the tank was almos emty when i set it for storage and the temps wary from 10above freezing to 30below here during vinter
when its time to drive it i will change the fuelfilter,drain the tank and put a fresh tank of 98octane in it,,,,
glad if the engine will last a nother season before i rebuild it.

Yeah that and a dead/discharged battery. Dont freak out soo fast when something like that goes wrong. Im still learning that lol. Last time my car started up funny i immediately thought it was a blown engine. Well i found out the trailing plug wire was barely on the plug on the rear rotor and i guess it wasnt firing the way it should. So i changed the plugs and made sure all 4 wires were on fully and car ran like it was new again
