I've been trying to fix this low vacuum problem ever since the engine rebuilt. I used to get 17-18" Hg at idle but now I only get 14-15" Hg.
These are what I tried so far.
BISS o-ring replacement
Throttlebody shaft o-ring replacement (1" Hg improvement)
Replaced all the vacuum hoses
Tried tightening BOV spring
PCV replaced
Tried spraying CARB cleaner & soapy water all over the place.
Weird thing I noticed is that if I unhook the hose connected to PCV, idle shoot up close to 3000rpm and vacuum increases to 18-20" Hg. I thought if I pull that PCV hose engine was gonna stall or come close to stall?
Any idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Help me out before I go insane.
Thanks in advance.
