need help, horrible idle and running rich
my car has been acting funny these past few days. It now runs super rich, rich enough to blow carbon out the exhaust and make a giant stain on my garage door 
. The idle is now bad too, it fluctuates like crazy and my vafc shows my pressure reading to be around -400mmhg when it used to be around -480mmhg. No leaks seem to be visible, although I hear what resembles a vac leak somewhere around the manifold area. Also, when I disconnected my iacv when the car was running, it stalled and died. Could my iacv be bad?

Re: need help, horrible idle and running rich (avex)
no codes??
what car???
you know what your iacv is right? if you dont have one, your car stalls... so unplugging will infact stall the motor.. Give us some more details, but it sounds like your car is running in limp...
