Well as I mentioned above I have removed the TB but it is quite different. When I removed the TB the gasket which was there had almost completely disintegrated. Areas around the outside had broken away as well as there being a few cracks right through to the middle. It was difficult to remove since ...

Well I checked intake again and can't seem to find any evidence of splitting or loose hoses. I have removed the TB but it seems to be very different from the one that Tunes has posted in the 'How too" thread. I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have bookmarked your 'How to' Tunes. I'll go over the intake again and see if I can find anything. If I don't I'll go ahead with the 'How to'. I'll keep you posted.

^ Yeah unfortunately I have tried this and it doesn't seem to have fixed anything. When car is running without faults it is perfectly fine, like nothings wrong. Strong acceleration runs smooth and then other times all of the above faults. I don't know really getting on my nerves. Can't trust it to d...

Fluctuating idle, bucking and stalling.

I have dropped in on a couple of threads and asked some questions but I think my problems warrant a new thread. When car is started and engine is cold everything seems fine. Idle stable car normal to drive. Problems only occur once car has warmed up. Once warm the following problems show themselves ...

For this problem with my car messing up I got fed up..I brought it down to a shop here in calgary..they couldn't find the problem for a while. They ended up cleaning up the cap and rotor in my distributor, and ever since then it's been working pretty damned good. Hopefully its something simple like...

wow looks like grants types faster thenI do cuz he beat me to the exact thing I was saying but yes 9 times out of 10 that is what it is. If you don't see any by just looking get a can of ether and spray it on the intake and if you get a spike it rpm then you will know you have a leak. This is the p...

Thanks for the replies guys. I have checked the intake for any cracking or loose hoses, replaced a split hose which came form the top of engine to main intake hose but all seems to be ok there. Also put in new filter. But problem is still occuring.

Sorry for bringing this back but I seem to be having the same issue also (along with a couple of other problems). Have any of you sorted this out yet? I'll check out those links to azazel95. Thanks.

Did this fix your problem? Mine seemed to be doing the same thing, but now it is not going at all. Just sits there.
