Question Hose Job issues

So I did a silicon hose job over the last couple weeks and I am finally done. But theres a problem.

I forgot to connect the front rotors vacuum line for the mop for about 20 minutes of run time could this have caused any damage?

Also forgot to connect the PCV valve off the oil pedistool

New problems after the hose job include:

Much lower vacuum (before it was about 17 @ 800 rpm now its at about 10)

Small oil leak coming from somewhere likely somewhere on the passenger side

Hesisitation about 2200 its rough ( bucking type of motion.)


can a bad ICV do all this? may have cracked my ICV by improperly torquing it down. I think I may have cracked it, planning on replacement soon but could it be anything else?

while I was in there i added a MBC, prespool, FC coil and FC1000 ignition amp.

Any help would be nice thanks =]

Ouch, I need to deal with my vacuum hoses also, and I'm not looking forward to it for this very reason.

-how much oil are we talking here? maybe you just had some oil leak out of the intake track when you had everything out

Hesisitation about 2200 its rough ( bucking type of motion.)

maybe you have a line thats crossed? did you draw and take pictures of everything so you new it was all put back together correct?

Much lower vacuum (before it was about 17 @ 800 rpm now its at about 10)

might be somehow linked to your 2200rpm hesitation...

i also have this problem with my vac...but mine reads something like 20-23@ 800rpm. i think my promlem is a faulty boost gauge though.

the car was running for about 20 mins and i can see a 1.3 inch diameter circle of oil.

dont think i crossed any lines..

the reason of low vacuum can be a leak somewhere, i'm not sure though, maybe you forgot to plug something.
