do you have an IAC hooked up? If there is no IAC your car is not going to idle well, at all

its hooked up. i think the vaccume source that is blocked off is the problem. its my friends car and i cant go mess with it un till friday.

here is the vaccume source it goes right to the iac port.

its for the IAC> u leave it open so the iAC can get air to let the motor idle a bit better. IMO its too ******* small and deosnt do ****. you shoudl tap it and build a lil plate and give the IAC a bigger vac source. OFF the intake manifold !
