So my boost guage used to read at -16 at idle, but now it seems to read closer to -14. Anyway, when neutral, if I hold the throttle at let's say 2500rpm and hold it steady; the car will start to drop the revs, and then bring them back up to where you are holding it at.
So, you hold the throttle at 2500, then the needle goes back and forth between 2500, 2000, 2500, 2000, etc. I've tried this as high up as holding it at 4000 rpm, and it does the exact same thing, only a little slower. Also, I noticed that even when I'm driving, if I push the clutch in, and hold the gas, I can repeat the problem.
Other Symptoms:
When driving, the car stutters all the time when going from zero/light throttle to light/medium throttle. I originally thought that this was from having my SAFC tuned wrong, but now it's looking like it's something else. Does this sound like a vacuum leak to you as well?
P.S. I basically molested a bunch of my vacuum lines when installing my boost guage, but this never started until the fuel pump, and injectors were installed. Co-incidentally (or maybe not) I took the dash pot off and made a block off plate the night before.
Anyway, I was looking at my lines and noticed that some of the plugs I made were a little loose. I tightened and basically un-ghettoed all my lines and still have the problem. So I suspect the dashpot block off plate has a leak (I just put some gasket stuff on it last night, but didn't let it set for very long). What do you think?
