    I'm working solid this weekend or I'd come down and take a peek at it to rule out anything obvious. Sorry, bud. Follow some of the advice in your thread though.
    Need a part? PM me.

        After watching your youtube videos about the car, it sounds like you have a vacuum leak.

        Carefully remove and double check the intake boot, and flex it a little bit to make sure if there's a split or tear, especially the bottom part of if, which is usually invisible without taking it off of the car.

        With M50, roughly looks like this DIY

          alright. it has been a week since the car idled weird and i am in desperate need of help.

          is anybody willing to come over to my house in lakewood to help out? i've been borrowing my mother's car for school this past week and she is losing it being stranded at home all day.

          i am willing to pay for your help ... i have tried everything i could. i have 0 experience with cars and i'm sure this would be an easy job for somebody else who knows his/her stuff.

          again, i am willing to pay
