now i noticed that once the check engine light goes back off the car idles a lot better than at a cold startg, at cold start u have to play with the gas to keep it on, i think i've got a vacuum leak at the lower intake manifold cuz i used those crappy ass nylon gaskets that come with the intake gaskets
