My car has been dow for a while, fmic install and a few other parts. I started it up today and I have a good sive leak coming from what I can best tell my throttle body. Im headed now down to Schucks to buy some new hose.:pray: I hope that fixes the problem. Does anyone know if the leak can come off the housing of the throttle body? I bought it off the classifieds here so its the first time Ive used it. The idle is also at about 1200, with the screw all the way down. As soon as I can pin down this leak, Ill work on the idle.

Problem fixed.:thumb: Hose coming from thermostat housing to throttle body was leaking. Lesson learned: 19 year old hoses should be replaced when taken off. It was really hard to find with the new 2.5" throttle body elbow.
 
by tightening down the biss screw on the throttle body you can actually damage it. google biss ajustment and it will guide you threw on how to set your engine idle speed.
