| I was sitting out here on the open water (deployment) and got to thinking about my erratic idle issue. The general consensus was that it was probably a vacuum leak. I obviously can't test it until November but I was thinking about one issue. Wouldn't a vacuum leak be consistent? I started it up after the clutch job and had the erratic idle that wanted to shut down as soon as I let off the gas. A few days later I started it and she ran fine. Idle was great. It wasn't until I touched the gas to back out of my garage that she shut down. After starting her up again, the erratic idle was back. I spoke with Mike Smith and he confirmed that everything was put back properly when we put the turbo back in. He said he was sure nothing else was touched or broken from that. He did say it might be my battery causing it. I just replaced my battery in February when I came back to the states because something was draining it FAST. I had my battery hooked up to my jumper box during both the properly running startup as well as the erratic idle startups. It is the one time she ran fine until gas was applied that is stumping me. Am I right in assuming a vacuum leak is out the window since it started fine that one time? What I know is:
Most times is erratic idle
Started up and idled fine one time until gas was applied
Shuts off as soon as gas is let off
If gas is let off SUPER slow, will stay running with erratic idle for at least a few minutes
Battery is being drained as soon as jumper box is removed and key is turned off

Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn!!! Do yourself a favor and just worry about your own car. I don't see what everyone is so worried about anyway. If someone else wants to perform a modification that you believe will destroy the value, cheapen the Z32 or whatever you can't sit on your hands about, wouldn't that make your tastefully-modified, white bread Z32 more rare and valuable? -- BradZ (FL) on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 PM The unicorn gets its revenge... -- Scotts94z32 on September 19, 2006 at 11:12 AM CLICK TO PURCHASE THE ZAMA STORAGE FACILITY POSTER!!!
