        done with the install, ive driven it around a few times and taken it up to redline and damn its got a nasty growl to it.

        only problems
        got a 1222 fault code- ive been told it is most likely a vacuum leak
        and crappy or no idle- lines up with vac leak

        any help on how to find the leak would be nice

            Dude, if I could I would. I am a novice mechanic at best.

            Somebody here should know how though. Anybody?>

              Does your rubber intake boot have a slit in it?
              That can make the idle horrible.

              Maybe it was damaged when you were putting things back together.

                    Or...spray parts cleaner on it. If you hear a change in the idle, you found your leak. Do this around the intake mani gaskets, tb gasket, etc. Great way to find out where a leak is coming from with little work.

                      meh, it takes like 5 minutes to remove, and I'd rather not get my engine bay all oily. ;)

                          Carb/brake cleaner is hardly oily

                          Use that method

                            A spray bottle of water works good also.
