I have a vacume leak on my stock dx motor in my 93 hatch.....the engine is from a different hatch (a 94 dx) and they previous owner replaced all the gaskets. The motor has a vacume leak which is causing the idle to be messed up and what not. It will go from 2000 to 1500 while idling. I have had a few people look at the car, and we cant seem to find the leak...any ideas on how to stop it?

thanks

well you have to find it before you can stop it... leave the car running and start spraying carb cleaner around areas that can leak... the motor will starve itself when it sucks the cleaner in and usually die... then you will know where to look for the leak
