How might one check for vacuum leaks? My problem is my idle does not hunt
AT ALL even at start up. If I had a leak wouldn't that make my idle hunt?
After driving the car 300 miles after I adjusted the co screw 1/2 turn
lean, I did stall twice while I was at stop lights, but my idle was not
affected at all. Could it be something like my cold start valve is on
constantly? I don't know I'm just tossing out ideas and seeing what comes
back.
Thanks
