Also might need to check for more vaccum leaks.

This car got the hot idle compensator on back?

I choked it out but as I slowly covered it I didn't notice any change in idle until I got close enough for it to die.

I've been checking for vacuum leaks over and over and haven't found anymore. All vacuum lines are new. I haven't checked around the carb since I put it back on Monday night so I'll check that again. But I had this problem before I took it off that night.

Yes it has the hot idle compensator. It's off an Olds so it has this little spring and rod sticking out the back. I sealed around it so there's no leaks according to Cliff's instruction. Maybe I should find a new compensator and cover?
