HOLY CRAP !! i was out messin with the bus tryin to get in any last bit of daylight i could to figure out whats wrong with it, and i GOT IT! the reason my bus was high revving when i sprayed near the throttle body , was because there was a hole in the intake runner boot (on the bottom side, thats why i never found it till tonight) big enuff to stick my pinky in !! i used electrical tape as a temporary fix on all the boots , just to save mor aggrivation , in case there was more leaking, hit the key , and puh puh puh puh .. it idled all by itself ... i timed it to 7.5-8 deg btdc , and she sat there purrin like a kitten .. i gotta check the rpm's with a multimeter (i chewed up my wires on my BRAND NEW ONE cuz they got caught in the pulleys ... oops) but it sounded close to 850 or so rpms ...
i went for a cruise all over town to selebrate conquering the damn problem thats been plagueing me ever since last fall
