no vacuum at idle
I have a friend with a gen 2 RX-7 on standalone that he just put in. He tells me he has no vacuum, he pulled a vacuum line and it blew air not sucked air..... He has had a few people who sell the standalone to look everything over and they can't find the problem. The car idles like ****, barely revs etc....
I heard someone say a faulty wastegate(he has a tial 38mm) is the cause it can be open a little and causing problems??? what do you think? He doesn't even have the vacuum line hooked up to it

Umm something doesnt make sense about any of that. A motor is just a vacuum. So unless you have a turbo creating pressure or blowing air in, then it should always be sucking in air.
A motor blowing air out instead of creating a vaccum defeats the whole purpose of internal combustion motors.

Re: (Civicman86)
yea what?
no vaccum... that doesnt make anysense the motor can be pushing air out of a vaccum line... if the engine is pulling in anyamount of air through the manifold with the throttle plate closed there is a vac... and if there was alarge enough vac leak the vehicle would just rev to death

your telling me an a/f ratio of 9:1 vs a a/f of 14.7:1 will idle the same. I know my car idles like crap when its too rich at idle

Re: no vacuum at idle (Quickgti1.8t)
So besides pulling the vaccuum line, does he have a boost gauge (I hope if he spent all that money on a standalone - he does) to see what the actual vaccum reading is?
I second a vaccuum leak. My friend had one and asked me to check out his Touring model for a rougher than normal idle. Vaccuum line slipped.
