ok well for some reason lately my vacume reads like -80 on my profec b and it would normally just be at -99 as soon as i let off the gas now it just takes a long ass time and sumtimes wont ever get there could it be because of a vacume leak ? if so im just gonna re do alll my vacume lines ..also my car sputters a lil bit in between 1700 and 2300 rpms ...could that be because of the leak or sumthing to do with my fuel?? (im running the afc hack with dsm 450 cc injectors) any help will be aprecciated

i was going to ask how it was runnin. but scratch that.

i'd have to look at it and see the situation literally. to give an educated guess.

might have blown the head gasket, intake mani. gasket, or have a rip in one of you vacuum lines. none are big probs though.

ha ha ha.....a blown head gasket isnt a serious problem huh....well, not too serious...but definitely NOT fun. thats a lot of work and a lot of other shit that ends up needing to be replaced.

the sputtering may be a lack of fuel at those RPMs, since both are close to RPM settings on the AFC (1600 and 2200). Try enriching fuel at those points.
