Need HELP: Idle Fluctuation Problem
Hey everyone i need some help w/ the engine idling problem.. it's keep fluctuating up and down btwn 1k - 1.5k rpm, 93 fd. ive read on the forum about maybe a hose(vacuum) leak problem.. so i replaced all the hosing, and it is still happening. 
wat else could cause this fluctuation.. my friend mention that it can be caused due to a crack in the turbo.
if so, can this be fixed w/ a temp weld job or do i need to replace the turbos completely to get rid of the problem.
THX IN ADVANCE

Try spraying throttle body/carb cleaner around the seals on your UIM, LIM, and throttle body. It's an old trick to find vacuum leaks since you can't really hear a vacuum leak while your engine is running.
The chances that your turbo is cracked in nearly zero. Even if it was, this would not cause a fluctuation in idle since the fd operates off of a MAP and not an MAF.
