Need to try this again

Like Greg said, don't choke the engine out. Just start restricitng air flow to see if the engine idles up or idles down.

Also might need to check for more vaccum leaks.

This car got the hot idle compensator on back?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
