No Idle

[Dave Yentema]

By IC I mean intercooler, its right behind your front grill. the ends of it 
are plastic and are prone to cracking. Find and replace any vacuum line that 
is bad (cracked, etc). Also, on the front of your intake manifold, there is 
an accordian shaped hose. Take that off and go over it for any cracks that 
are going all the way through. You'll have to put a light of some sort on 
the inside, and flex it pretty far to see if it is cracked at all....
