I have a 97 talon with a 6-bolt block and 91' head. I replaced the intake manifold gasket, and now I can't get the car to idle right. The car will start up and rev to about 2k then stumble, and immediately die. If I press on the gas I can keep it running but it will die on its own. I did swap in...
I have a 97' tsi awd and I just recirculated the bov. When I press the gas pedal the car will bog down and stumble to get back to normal idle. When I drive the car sometimes it has a hard time accelerating and has a huge amount of lag. When I'm coming to a complete stop and I press the clutch...
