iX down for the count

Start it, take a can of carb cleaner and spray it all over the intake boot and all vacuum lines. If the engine surges, you've found your leak.

One question though, is your MC still securely bolted to your booster and is the vacuum line to the booster still connected securely? If the answer is yes to both parts of those questions then chances are your MC blew fluid back into your booster which ate the diaphragm, effectively creating a booser-sized vacuum leak. This is rare but I've seen it happen...

Planned on getting carb cleaner tomorrow. Hah, you guessed right, the answer is yes. Obviously there is no easy way to tell if the MC kicked fluid back in to the booster but would it be very difficult to pull it off and tell if it did? (without ruining anything else)

Probably doesn't help my case any but keep in mind I'm 17 and have a limited budget, but am pretty handy with tools and figuring things out. This one completely stumps me though. I really appreciate all the advice and help everyone gives.

I'd be very interested in what is causing your off idle hesitation. My car does a similar thing, but not nearly as bad. A buddies ix had the same problem as you, but the severity was somewhere between yours and mine.

Just found your thread elsewhere and sub'd it ;). I'll be taking a look at it tomorrow and trying what you did in the next week or two while I'm on christmas break to rule stuff out. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Looks like you're doing it the right way.
