i think you repeated yourself a bit there. And it's probally not 11psi of vac but more like 11in/hg of vac. Unless you have some crazy streetport motor, that vac is pretty low. It should sit somewhere around 16+ in/hg. Check the map sensor 1st and then look for a loose vac. hose.

Maybe you just need to replace the spark plug wires with some hollow ones. And maybe try replacing your current blinker fluid with some synthetic. If that doesnt work, get a Camshaft rotational dampaner. And about the exhaust being cold, try putting a new filter on it, your current one might be clogged causing it to draw cold air in from your A/C lines.

all the products mentioned above are available at KaleCo

But really, If someone gives you advice, and you "Doubt" its the problem, dont waste your time here, because evidently you know more then they do.
P.S. your period "." key is above your "alt" key, why dont you find it for us?

oops sorry didnt know there was a english major here LOL j/k, i said i doubt its the map cuz i checked it and was looking forward for another option.

And what you mean put a new filter on it. you mean air filters, if its that i have new one on there already. I was thinking of the plugs cuz it smell like gas on th exuast and no heat from it. But do ya think i blew the motor

p.s. your not funny
