Idle Problem

I changed the headers and got rid of all the smog pump and etc...

car will jump up to 3000RPM and then die out unless i give it gas.


any ideas?

oh i also completely took off the intake manifold because i had a cracked gas line down there but i returned everything where it went,... or so i think cause i think i have a Vacum leak... is there a common place that people usually miss?


Help would be great

same thing happens to my friends S14. I forgot what it was though I'll ask. It's not much of a problem to him though. You can still drive right? also does this happen in warm weather too? or only cold weather?

Driving would become a mission... it really doesnt idle... it cannot hold... it dies out right after it Roars its 3000RPMs

A disconnected vacuum line could sometimes cause that
