Well, I just found this.. Look really close at the pic. In between the IM runners, there seems to be a gap around the flange/gasket area. I'm thinking this is probably my vac leak..

 

ahhhh, I see it.

 

i see it too i hope thats it good luck bro

 

For future reference... Contrary to popular belief, the intake manifold gaskets ARE NOT all the same for d-series motors [:@]

I'm hoppin in the shower, then hitting Napa to get the gasket that matches the motor, rather than the one that matches the friggin IM

I'll update in a bit. Thanks guys

 

Check out my posting from today. I also have a surge problem

 

Wasnt the IM gasket..

Went through to double check everything last night, and it seems as if my TPS has completely taken a ****. STarted the car without the TPS connected, and although the idle was high, there was no surge. Busted out the multimeter only to find that it was reading 5.01v whether the throttle was open or closed. Should be..
4.5 WOT
.5 Idle

Hopefulyl getting a tb off my buddy's parts car today in hopes it'll fix the issue

 

Word

 

d16z6's have a fast idle valve under the throttle body

 

I'm running my y8 IM/TB

 

Turns out neither of the locals had the correct TB (or ANY tb for that matter) [:@]

Its getting its hood and front bumper put back on today, and I'm driving it. I dont care how annoying the idle is anymore..
