Question: Does this sound like a vacuum/boost leak to you?

When sitting at a stop light every minute or longer my car's idle will dip from 1000 to like 4 or 5 hundred and stumble. When it does this my AFR gets rich, like between 11 and 13 and my vacuum goes from -14 to about 10-7ish. It then recovers after about 1 second and the AFR goes back to normal after reving up a bit.

I also noticed today that when cruising at 70 my vacuum seems to be less than usual. Typically when cruising on a level road I'll sit at -10 but today I was around -5 and wasn't sure if it was just the weather.

Any ideas would be helpful. Luckily this isn't a huge deal or preventing me from driving it, just a bit annoying.

This is never easy to tell people, but just want to let all of the milwaukee crew know that Katherine and I are breaking up. She will be moving back to California in the next week or two.

after being with someone 8 years, its always difficult! Its not a bad break-up, we both now know that we have to go our separate ways.

and yes, we knew at DIM SUM... i just wanted her to hang out one last time with a few of you.

Best of luck.

Andy, sorry to hear that man. but like laak said, its good you can see the problem and not force it..

but the reason i came back is to ask if anyone has any winter tires (preferrably just one blizzak lm-22 but i doubt it)

i had one blow out while driving on 43 and had to change it in the slush on the wide of the freeway with no emergency lane

i dont have a computer anymore so im never on here and wont really check it but my phone has a direct email which is Honni414@tmail.com

i need rubber asap and i may be looking for some rims soon too so if anyone has a combo id be interested
