I credibly dangerous. I drove the car around 600 miles like that! Oh well, it's been corrected. The new springs have tightened up the suspension and I love it. Huge change!The car still runs very rough at start up. I've noticed the vacuum goes crazy when it runs bad and it appears to have a misfire. No codes.... The only vacuum line left to check is the gage. I just thought of it tonight. The plan is to check the gauge line tomorrow and then spray fluid around the engine again to see if the idle changes. I may go ahead and remove the blower and IMRC plates and install new gaskets.The strange thing is after warming up the car this morning, I cut the key while in gear and turned key back on and the running condition improved, no misfire, but the idle did continue to hunt a bit when clutch depressed or at a stop. It's subtle but there. My son and I took the car to our first car show and after warming it up it drove great there. On the way home, different story... Misfire, vacuum jumping all over. Super strange.[ATTACH=full]39787[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
