vaccum leak I beleive...

Would there be anyone willing to come and help me track it down? Help me out? My car is killing itself every once in a while, and sometimes I hear a sound like there is a line that's broken or has a leak in it...

TPS I know is faulty, and I have a replacement, but I need help with calibrating it once I get it on.

Idle I've already raised 2x, and sometimes it sits comfortably at 750 or so...

But I don't think that would cause the sound that can be heard in the background of the engine video?

Is the sound you spoke of that intermittent hiss in the background... if so, it does not sound like a "classic" vac leak. IDK what that was.

Setting the TPS is very simple.. all you need is a DMM:
