I cant tell you how much fun I have been having since my car has been finished. Glad to hear yours is also there!

Big vacuum leaks. Today, I learned a little bit more about how the Mass Air meter works, more specifically the air part. I never plugged the hole where the brake booster tube hooked into the intake and I never hooked up the breather hose to the throttle body . I guess the air meter was bypassed when I was pressing the pedal and opening the throttle body, which was allowing the car to start, but not to idle.

Thanks BR! Brakes are no biggie. I'll have it all wraped up next weekend, hopefully.

I also have a mouse problem to deal with now. I splattered one of them in my fan last weekend and I expect there are either more or a nest under my engine shroud. Bastards!

OK. I had some issues with that as well. DwSD sent me some parts for a quick fix(for free). Good guy and I owe him some beers!
