    ICV not reaching?

    I'm getting this insane vacuum leak that's making my car idle like poop. I've pretty sure I narrowed it down to my ICV. It almost appears as if it's not reaching, or something's a little too short. I got a new ICV tube and boot (since my boot was ripped) 1 day before my car broke down about 2 months ago so I'm not sure if one of them's too short or something? Check it out



    When I blast it with brake cleaner it idles fine.

      It's supposed to "close" the leak momentarily I believe.

      True. I just want it to be normal though..bunch of clamps look silly. I don't remember it not reaching.

        It looks to me like the short hose needs to be replaced.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
