9" sounds really low ..... IIRC think you need to be around 18" at idle?? Can someone more knowledgeable than me support this? Also, I'm not sure if carb cleaner is volatile enough to give you a change in idle - needs to be starting fluid...and a fresh can at that. Did you ever replace/inspect the TSII?Mountainhide wrote:Yes it does. I hooked up a vacuum guage today and I'm running 9". I got some carb cleaner and sprayed it down everywhere needed and the vacuum never changed. Going to the shop tomorrow.
My two pennies - unless it is your DD, or have some epic trip coming up, I would take the time to trouble shoot yourself....about the only thing I will take my bus in to a mechanic (I'm excluding itinerant visits) is for front end alignments. Search this site - I had the EXACT same problem...haunted me for a couple of years.
