vacuum lines

rn4thbrdr14 · 04-16-2012, 05:47 PM

checked some of my vacuum lines today and they all look like crap, some of them were broken clean in half, not even hooked up. including the one going to the top of the throttle body. =] they're all fixed now and its running pretty good.

i decided to check them though, because i decided to pressure wash my motor and i didnt spray any electrical or the intake box and it started running rough, not wanting to accelerate well when giving more then usual amount of gas. so i thought maybe some broken vacuum lines could have been sucking in water. could this be the case or is there a common problem with the motor accepting water somewhere that could cause this problem??? let me know what u think

Usually, ignition stuff and electrical connections get wet from a wash, and cause stumbling. Dry them out with a hair dryer.
