    The unfindable vacuum leak

    Hey guys... I didn't want to muddy the waters any more till i got a vacuum gauge and it came in today. So i hooked it to the booster hose and fired it up. Cold it was hanging right on 19 with about a 1 psi bounce. It wasn't "glued in place" looking like someone said it should be. After about 10...

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    So i played with it for a couple of hours tonight, pulled the breather off and the carb and found that the front pass side carb bolt wasn't tight in the manifold, fixed that, went over all the bolts on the manifold and checked that they were all tight, one was a little loose but not much. Re...

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    The stutter is only on take off and after a gear change so under a load. Both cold or warm engine but it isn't as bad when the choke is closed when its cold and warming up. We have 4 big chain auto part stores in my town and not a single one had a vacuum gauge so ill be ordering one from amazon

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    Just from working on old stuff over the years if closing the choke helps its usually an indication of a vac leak, but i am far from a mechanic. I drove it a few miles today with the line to the booster clamped shut and it didn't make a noticeable difference so i assume the booster is good. Im...

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    And if the vacuum is low that means a sizable vacuum leak somewhere? I'm just so stumped why it runs so much better with the choke out but i cant find a vac leak anywhere.

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    Ill get a vacuum gauge today. What should the readings be. It's just strange that it runs so much better with the choke pulled out. It's not that it has a lot more power but that it it just accelerates so much smoother and doesn't have that little stumble off idle or gear change.

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    @kruisinkid its a 78. The booster is probably stock. Pvc and grommet is old. It's oily so I couldn't really say how old. I did new plugs and wires when I did dui. Gapped correctly

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    Adjusted the valves about 500 miles ago but they were all just a hair off spec. So no dramatic changes there. I don't have a vacuum gauge yet unfortunately.

    1978 FJ40 won't idle...where to go from here?

    Sounds like the idle solenoid is bad. That is the wire that runs around the side of the carb on the valve cover side. My original carb did that to me randomly.

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    @LAMBCRUSHER im not sure what the vcv is. Mine has been desmoged. The only vac I have in the dizzy is the vac advance line. @emac my timing is set to the bb at the bottom of the inspection window per marshalls advice. And yes if I unplug the i. S. It immediately dies. And it's getting strong...

    The unfindable vacuum leak

    Well ive read every thing i can find about the common vacuum leaks and I'm still having trouble. I recently installed a trollhole card and dui ignition just because i wanted to update that stuff. And the truck ran as bad or worse than with the stock setup. I finally started finding small vac...
