Run like crap...idle poorly...get a compression check....works every time

ever seen a paint can shaker? a rotary idles much like that when the seals go out on a rotor, as well your vacuum gauge pulses very rapidly.

is there any early signs i the i can catch before they go? my idle right now is very shitty, it idles at 4k.....yes 4k, and its cuz of my vacumm lines, and when u sit in the car u can feel vibrations, could that be my seals or becuz of my vacumm lines?


thanks for the help by the way

Well it sure can't help get the leaks fixed it causes you to run lean. The only sign to tell that they are weakening is a compression check.
